I have also thought that an audible SWR indicator would be very useful
but never bothered to mention it as most would probably consider it to
be a little too gimmicky. But it would be quite handy for me when I'm
using an external match box-- when I lean across the desk to adjust it I
can no longer easily see the little SWR meter indicator in the K3 display.
I'd suggest a "geiger counter" type audible indicator: a fast beep for
SWR values greter than 3:1 and progressively slower as you zero in on 1:1.

When operating digital modes, I'm often looking at the computer screen and not
the rig.
Hate when I'm out of sync with my band and the proper antenna. 😉

Subject: [Elecraft] Suggested enhancements for K3
Two suggestions which can probably be added in firmware for K3 and K3s:
1) Allow different audio levels for speaker and phones, such as an attenuation
applicable to either.
2) Allow (but not require) the monitor level to be controlled along with the
receiver levels.
If either is already available for the K3, someone please let me know!
