PC info suggestion.

[David Quental]

Hello all,

I like a lot to operate my K3 and it is soberb, however I see a lack on
it when I use a computer, could be possible to add an information that
indicates a computer is connected with it ???

For instance word "PC" in display. It is just an idea.

Best 73.

There is no state change on the K3 when a computer is connected (as
there might be on something like a camera or MP3 player). The K3 is
always listening for commands on the serial port. It doesn't "know" if
there's a computer there to send them or not. None of the other
functions of the K3 change when a computer is present. What value
would such a display indication add?

For instance ts480sat shows "PC" when a computer sends any command into
it, for instance when asks rig about frequency.
