Björn and Alexandr,
This is not only important on UHF and above... It is important on VHF as
well! Granted nobody cares about this on HF, but 6m and above, it is
tremendously useful -- one could even say crucial. Björn, you described
the FT-897 capabilities very well, and that's exactly how the K3 should
implement this. The FT-897 is the gold-standard model for how this
should be done, and all the VHF/UHF ops I've talked with about it agree.
I had extensive email correspondence with the K3 design team early on,
lobbying for implementation of this feature, and I was assured it will
be forthcoming.
This feature is addressed in the FAQ, which says, "These features will
not be in the initial firmware release, but should be available in the
second release. Exact functionality TBD." I don't think anybody knows
what this means. I sure don't. What is the "second release"? Haven't
there been many, many releases so far? Or does this mean "v2.xx"? If so,
when is that going to happen?
Can somebody at Elecraft let us know when this capability is expected to
be coded and implemented? It sure would be nice if it were in there by
the time I get my K3 in April/May, in time for the ARRL VHF QSO Party in
June.

Bill, regarding the meaning of "release". I believe that to be a
version beginning "2.xx". The current release is 1.xx.
