Yes, but possibly not in the first production firmware release.

Yes.

There's a menu entry to set the minimum voltage before a "LO BATT"
warning shows up. "HI CUR" will be flashed if transmit current drain
is excessive (and power will be automatically reduced in this case,
just like on the K2 and K3).

Great idea, saved in the Future Firmware file.
