My vote would be for an on-board contest serial number capability.

Re: K3 Keyer

I would like to second that! If I had to pick a single mod I wanted,
that would be it for today...

That feature came with my first memory keyers back in the 70s, which was
a very big deal before the days of computer logging. 40 years later, why
should Elecraft burn processor cycles doing something that every contest
logging program does?

Re: K3 Keyer

Or, consider the compact outboard device, the Ham Central Terminal,
which will do that.. (generate serial numbers) as well as log QSOs.
It's a lot smaller (and uses less power) than the smallest portable
computer (or netbook). I have one, and find it very handy as an
accessory for the KX3. Even if I get a PX3, I expect to keep the HCT,
since it logs and has an extended display, which can hold up to 480
characters. And you can scroll back to view prior characters, while
new data is added.

Standard disclaimer: No connection, etc... just a happy customer.

Re: K3 Keyer

Or consider the CW Machine which does more than any other product
currently on the market, including contest serial numbers, ultimatic
keying, bug emulation, self-contained log book, mill function, call sign
lookups to QRZ, automatic ADIF generation and updates to eQSL and LoTW,
and much more. Soon to be released - an enhancement that will permit
fully automatic logging through parsing keywords. I use it with my
KX3/KXPA100 and my station's Windows laptop. I couldn't live without it
;-)

of the inventor but not otherwise connected and I benefit in no way}

Does that mean you're paper logging your contests?
