K3 - Two small UI suggestions

[Joe Planisky]

After playing with my K3 for a few days (FW rev 2.38), I've come up  
with two small suggestions for a future firmware release, someday when  
you have nothing better to do :-)

1.) Make the TX indicator flash any time TX is disabled.  It already  
flashes when in TX TEST mode, but I'd also like it to flash when TX is  
disabled because I'm outside a ham band.

2.) Make ALL menu items with only two possible states sensitive to  
knob turn direction instead of alternating states.  Currently, to turn  
on text decode in a data mode, I can turn the VFO B knob either  
direction and get alternating ON / OFF states.  I'd like to turn it  
clockwise to turn it ON, and turn it counter-clockwise to turn it  
OFF.  The CONFIG:PWR SET works this way now and I think it would be  
better if all ON/OFF-type items worked this way.

Personally I prefer the alternating states as I always spin one way to
make the change.
