[Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3

[jrquark]

Great Ideas!  May I suggest, in the name of ‘feature creep’, a suggestion?  So, have the K3 or K3s dial up your cell phone where you can program specialty ring tones for all sorts of “mission critical” events.  This will surely get our attention while in the heat of battle for another 59 contact.  Or not!

But it would be quite handy for me when I'm using an external match box-- when I lean across the desk to adjust it I can no longer easily see the little SWR meter indicator in the K3 display.
