Maybe my interest to QRP is partially because K2.
I want to use my K3/100 still quite a lot in QRP and QRPP.

Well, when you wish to go from 100w, down to 3w, in order to tune an
external tuner (in my case an SGC auto-tuner), it can get tedious.

Maxim, I'm not sure why you need to go down to 3w. The K3 will sit at
120w for a long time. I don't need to use an ATU here as all my antennas
are fed with coax and remotely swiched, but I do have a manual tune amp.
I have a small printed card fixed with blue tack to the front panel

Firstly, it's David, at least it was when I replied :)
I go down to 3w for two reasons:
1) so I'm not tuning up over a SSB signal with 120W of carrier
2) so I don't strain the K3 components that back off with high SWR
3w appears to be min the SC-237 will tune on reliably. I can get it to tune
on
Joe,
if you follow QRO- and QRP-traffic and change 10 times back and forth,
you sure wish to have something to toggle easily between.
Multiturn is fine for adjusting. 2 preset power levels would be enough
for me.
I think about PF1.
But I can live with this multiturn potentiometer. The rig is
Yes, I'm not complaining and Wayne has said there will be a low power tune
option coming.
Wayne/Eric, perhaps it would be a good idea to maintain a public list of all
the enhancement requests, so people know whats been asked for?
This could be done at Zerobeat, but it would take a while to

I can imagine. It's bad enough from 10W. The K2 power control didn't have
this problem. A twist of the wrist was all that was needed.

on 2w sometimes, but that depends
It does display the SWR on VFOA display when you hold TUNE, but only at 2W+.

One thing I miss. On the K2, ATU bypass was CAL S, so I got a digital SWR
reading when I was tuning. That was handy because it is much easier to
detect the perfect

So it does. Guess I'll just have to tune at a higher power level.

I's been suggested to me by someone not on this reflector (shame), that the
power control should perhaps be logarithmic - running in dB.
That sounds like a good idea.

I'd make it go in 0.1W increments to 1W, 1W increments to 10W, then 5W
incremments to 100W. That's about 40

The degree of adjust is really fine down to 0.1W.
Also, 100W PA switch-off below 10W is very clever.
But to crank between 100 and 5W is not very handy.
I would like to see PF1 to change
