I's been suggested to me by someone not on this reflector (shame), that the
power control should perhaps be logarithmic - running in dB.
That sounds like a good idea.

Yes, I'm not complaining and Wayne has said there will be a low power tune
option coming.
Wayne/Eric, perhaps it would be a good idea to maintain a public list of all
the enhancement requests, so people know whats been asked for?
This could be done at Zerobeat, but it would take a while to compile the list.
Anyway, a number of posibilities for Elecraft to consider at some future date:
1) A Main Menu item to set power control coarseness
2) A CONFIG menu item to set coarseness
3) A MAIN MENU item to switch 'MON' from monitor to an alternative 'rate' of
power control and then a hold of MON would switch from fine to course.
4) Then to satisfy those who want course more often than fine, a CONFIG item
to toggle PWR and MON-PWR so one is course and one is fine and you can choose
which one is 'normal' power.

You are right David!
If the knob went from 0 to 120 with 1 almost full rotation, I would
think that was reasonable, but seems to me it is a LOT of cranking to go
from 120 to 4 or 5, even for occasional fun changes... nicely precise
though.
a few presets would be very nice or tuning rate change for the power
knob would be workable.
I would not be surprised if something like that happens, knowing the way
the engineers at Elecraft work.
Plenty of little things that can be fixed, but it is miles ahead of the
early (and my guess present) Orions, in user interface.
