It's a fair point you have raised, but I just did a few tests and it is possible to select and change menu values while a program is polling during normal operation. Clearly there is the potential for conflict - if you send UP or DN commands hoping to change frequency it will change the menu selection instead, just as turning the VFO will when a menu is selected. But as long as people are aware of this and use the utilities intelligently and don't try to tune the band at the same time as they are loading settings I don't think there will be any problems. Not enough to render such utilities useless, anyway. Obviously it would be easier if more options could be set using direct commands so programs don't have to put the K3 into menu mode at all to read or write settings.
