A Great Idea, Rick! I have been a Ten Tec patron for years (and still have an Omni VII and 6N2), and am now new to Elecraft with a upgraded K3, KPA500, KAT500, P3. I would find your “K3, Explain Thyself” a great feature to add in a future firmware upgrade along with a cryptic line defining what, for example “KBPF3” refers to. Secondly, as a purchaser of a used K3, I was unsure of what was in the K3 and was not in the K3 I purchased. That made a decision to upgrade a more complex decision than should have been necessary; along with unfamiliarity with the Elecraft nomenclature. In time, I know, I will become more familiar with the Elecraft product line but, on the other hand, I don’t have a whole lot of years left. Mike, N8TTR
