I can see how a display would be nice, but with the busy LCD that is not easily modified I don't know where they would put it. I don't see how auto speed would be possible unless you always worked strong signals and never try to dig one out of the QRM. Personally I use Bugs and Straight Keys most of the time and prefer my WinKeyer to the one in the K3. Willis 'Cookie' Cooke K5EWJ

The most missed permanent information on the display is the speed too. This is because the ham politeness demands always to call somebody at his speed. It's easy to tell the other station's speed, but often I dont remember where I have set mine the last time. Then I have to touch the control to see the value, and to adjust it if needed. Not a big deal, but this lead me to an idea for Auto CW speed function. When turned ON, it would match the keyer speed to the received CW signal speed. In SEMI position, it would do the same not permanently, but on tapping the speed control knob. A shortcut from the wpm meter, already embeded in the text decoder, toward the internal keyer would add some artificial intellect to K3, and would contribute to more courtesy on the bands :). 73 Val LZ1VB ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
