Personally, I can't WAIT until we endorse the metric system. Then we'll only
have ten months so we can completely eliminate those nasty January's and
February's.

I think the temp presentation on the K3 is just fine.
The temp limits for the finals are expressed in degrees C in the
Elecraft docs and the device spec sheets.
Why convert?

Here is an online converter that has satisfied my needs:

At least I can still do the MHz to MC conversion without looking it up. It
will in my mind always be MC.

Yeah. If you give them a centimeter they'll take a kilometer.
The easiest way I know if in your head doesn't work for you, go to
google.com and type
55c to f
and enter in
the temp specs for the chips are all in centigrade.

In High School, 1953 to 1958, I was introduced to the Metric System in
Chemistry and Physics. I thought WOW, what a system, I can soon forget the
obsolete feet, inches, Fahrenheit stuff and use a system that makes sense. In
college in Engineering School I used mostly the Metric system which

Enough! It is time for the USA to quit fighting the rest of the world and
switch to Metric

Well, that may be more possible than many years ago when a switch to
metric was proposed.
At that time, the machine tool industry was well invested in the English
system for such things as screw threads and such.
Now that the automotive industry uses mostly metric hardware, the switch
may be
Since Eric seems to be on vacation or otherwise indisposed ...
With full credit to Richmond Johnson, a colleague at work and retired

My remarks, while true were mostly tongue in cheek because someone wanted
Elecraft to use measurements in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius. Electronics is
the one area in the US where metric is usually used. Hams of all people need
to have their knower bilingual since we converse with the world

Ron,
Yes, but you have to do a bit of math.
There is a simplified formula that does not require one to remember
whether to add or subtract 32 degrees.
That method has to do with the fact that the two scales coincide at - 40
deg.
So add 40 degrees to the reading (whether that be degF or degC),
