KX3 POWER ON/OFF OPTION

[KM4VX]

Great radio and I am enjoying it along with my other Elecraft products:  K1, K2, KAT100, KA100. K3, P3, KPA500, KAT500, W2 and XG3 (walking advertisement). Question: It would be very convenient if one could turn on and off the KX3 with one button as opposed to having to push two. For those of us sans backpack the two button security feature is more cumbersome than one might imagine, particularly when using the Nifty Ham Accessory stand for the KX3 and the many input ports on the left side of the radio. If this option could be made available in a software/firmware upgrade it would be helpful for those of us not planning to ham while mountain climbing, skiiing or scuba diving etc. Thanks. Ron KM4VX

Ron,

That would be a nice 'option' to have.

I use my KX3 as a mobile rig and when touring and I come into a town I need
to either turn the volume down (easy) or simply turn it off and this does
become more complicated with the 2 button press while keeping my eyes on
the road ahead.

I don't know IF this could be done but I would welcome any work around that
may come along?
