[Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I have my station set up such that I can see all the important stuff.  I 
don't need audible alarms on the radios, the computers or such.   I want 
to OPERATE my station, enjoy it, learn from it and with it.  I don't 
want IT doing everything for me.   I want to be totally involved.   I 
flew airplanes for some time, I understand "scanning the panel".  It is 
necessary.

While there are improvements that can be implemented in my K3S, I prefer 
to take advantage of what it does and the way it does it and learn with 
it.  Otherwise, I write a chunk of code, load it on the computer and go 
away while the station works the DX, logs the DX and uploads the logs 
all while I sleep, eat, enjoy a movie and such.   Is that the direction 
of hamming?   Nah, not even close.

Folks it is a hobby.  I seem to think we are forgetting that. No 
different than "Googling everything" and anytime there is a question.   
Why not take time to Read The Manual or do other research to answer ones 
question.    You'd be a lot smarter that way.    No different than the 
professor saying he will give a final exam and provide the answers at 
test time.   That's different to an open book test.   Why then go to 
class and perhaps learn something?   Just take the test, pass with 
flying colors, and be as dumb as a box of rocks on the subject.   Is 
that where we are going with the hobby?   Seems so.

Now you can delete this.   Thank you.
