Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Power On/Off Feature Request

[Lyle Johnson]

The power switch pair is not a software controlled option, but a 
hard-wired circuit that cannot be made configurable.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Power On/Off Feature Request

[Scott Russell]

To clarify, I fully understand the reason the button combo is needed. I'm only 
asking if a menu option could be implemented to use the bottom row as an 
alternative, not replacing the current setting. With people using the KX3 on 
the desk and not portable it feels more natural to press the lower buttons. 

Thanks,

Scott N1SER

That's kinda the idea!  It's harder to have the radio accidentally get turned 
on while hiking up the mountain in the backpack. After all, it's a PORTABLE HF 
radio. 

It does however get to be a pain when used on a desk even in the camper.
