The Microsoft's road map is mainly for the other folks that need to make
changes to their software based upon the underlying structure of Microsoft's
software.
That is not the case for Elecraft and the K3. I would like to know maybe the
upcoming big moves like maybe an integrated vhf/uhf module

opinion. Personally I agree that

Some changes are easy to implement. Some are hard and carry a risk of side
effects. Let's look into some:
1. Change LO step from 100 to 50 Hz -- very easy to implement
2. Band stacking, e.g., pressing V_M+nr for the same band toggles the
stacks, a menu defines the number of stacks -- easy once
Having some experience with amateur repeater control software and other
systems, it usually happens that some new features are particularly easy to
implement while others are particularly hard. This is unrelated to a user's
perception of complexity or desirability, and relates more to firmware

Bravo Wayne,
Well said on the software development of the K3. It amazes me when folks on
here start listing items they want to see implemented and then define just how
difficult or easy they are to do. It's as if they think their assigned degree
of difficulty will expedite the implementation.
