Wayne, the annoyance factor could be reduced by ANDing the flashing 'Delta-F'
light with the red 'Tx' light. That way it would only flash a warning when
transmitting.
Thaty's what I like about Elecraft, an instant response even on Sunday 1st

There are LCD icons for both RIT and XIT. XIT is rarely used, and
you'd think that those who do use it would be motivated to keep an eye
on both the XIT icon and the Delta-F LED. That said, I'll add to my

Hi,

I think it would be nice to be able to configure the audio input on a

I agree, but as an example if I am on 40m at some ridiculous hour I would be
working CW at the low end and SSB between 7140 and 7197 kHz, which I believe
could result in a fair number of clicks during the night when using an all
