Again, I'm asking for it to be AN option, NOT the only option.

It makes a big difference if you are driving an amplifier, where the
precise amount of drive can be important.

My guess is the average ham doesn't have the slightest concept of dBw
nor would it seem intuitive if they did. Cranking a knob isn't all that
onerous. Even those of us who use dBw regularly on the bench, just pick
one or a couple output powers that they use. In my case, 90% of the time
it's
I fail to see the need for a hundred steps between 0.1W and 10W on my
KX2, or steps between 1W and 100W on another radio. What difference is
it going to make to anybody whether you're at 71 vs. 74 watts? But a
1.5_dB or a 3_dB step? That's something I can use.

I fail to see the need, but if I had one I would just do in my head. (and
probably use dBW :-)

It also eases estimating power out after gains and losses due to antenna,
coax, etc. I can handle addition and subtraction. :-)
I added readings in dBm to my now out of date W1 & W2 software faces

Here's a suggestion across the line, from the KX2 to the K3S:
I'd like to have the option to display and set transmit power in dBm
rather than linear watts. Conceptually, it makes more sense to me, and
it's a more meaningful number relating to S-units on the received side.
