And in order to make the user interface properly user friendly, we could have a CONFIG item to set the shock voltage so that the operator suffers unbearable pain rather than death.... :-)

Some users might switch off the test mode on purpose. In this case, the K3 should induce an electric shock. Add some voice recognition software, so that when the user says "UP" in simplex mode, the K3 self-destructs. ;-) 73, Mitcn DJ0QN Mitch Wolfson DJØQN / K7DX Neubiberger Str. 21, 85640 Putzbrunn Skype: mitchwo - Home:+49 89 32152700 - Mobile:+49 172 8374436 Echolink: 3001 - IRLP: 5378 On 18.02.2015 02:00, Joe Subich, W4TV wrote: > > Looking for the *absence* of a change when the PTT is pressed or the > key is tapped to indicate that one has forgotten to engage split is a > bit counter intuitive.
