I would second that Geoff, I have mentioned it more than once on this list as I think the ABS mode to be so sensible and useful on the K3 - who wants an S meter which is only accurate some of the time, and by the very nature of preamp and attenuator settings will, as a consequence inevitably vary from band to band? Maybe it's more difficult to implement on the KX3, but I find it a little odd that it's not yet got to the top of the list.
