For AM users, could we get the ability to invert the voice phase as a feature of the K3? This would allow us to make sure that the audio phase orientation is correct where the positive peaks are always greater than the negative peaks. Even better, it would be cool if the rig could auto detect an

The contour... The reason I chose 400Hz is because unlike the contour which can variably move through the entire pass band area (600Hz - 900Khz) , with the K3 you only get a specific Freq. settings for each EQ setting. In CW mode you also have DUAL PB which tracks your PITCH setting.
