Dirk,
I believe what you want is already present (but not using the SPOT button).
Read the VFO portion of the manual page 47, and set VFO CRS for each
mode as you desire. (see menu listing on page 62).
For SSB use, I set mine for 0.5 kHz steps, and I also set VFO OFS to ON
so I can use the RIT
Tuning the K3 on 75m sideband this morning and trying to get the vfo

I have a nice big SWR meter - CN-801 HP so I can quickly see if
there's any smoke going up the coax. What could be simpler?

I have the same meter, always in line. No problems with Test mode here.

Morse code legends for button pushes would probably be very useful to
those who have vision problems (I don't).
But ergonomics counts for an awful lot, too. Especially during long
sessions at the rig. Being able to access functions without
consciously searching for the buttons and then having to
Morse code legends are cool. I always kinda dug that the kenwood would
beep the first char of the mode that you just set things to. Now that
I'm starting to learn code a little better I start to like them more and
more. I'd put them at VERY low priority but do have to admit they're
more of a coo
The flashing of the RF power meter on the LCD display is a very solid clue
to me that the rig is making RF!

It's just too easy to miss the little blinking TX annunciator if you've left
your K3 in test mode. How about once in a while doing something more
drama
An inocuous chirp from the K3 every five seconds would be simpler than
a big CH-801 HP SWR meter, I think. (A chirp would take up far less
desk space as well.)

I'm actually a little more worried the TEST mode will be off when it
actually isn't. I like to bang out a few practice lines of code every
now and then just to keep the fist limbered up. It is kind of
embarrassing to open up on the air with a few stanzas from Kubla Khan
or something, thinking the t

HAHA... At FD one of the operators said... "Man I really love the way
the receiver sounds but NOBODY will come back to me". On his next
transmission I noticed that there was no RF showing up on the bar graph.
Then I noticed the flashing TX... I mentioned to him that he was in
test mode. Poof on
