RIT Power On request / Suggestion

[Ralph]

NAQP was the first contest with my new K3 - 2169.  First thing I noticed was I couldn't turn on the RIT while in XMIT.  Once the RIT was turned on, changing bands turned the RIT off.  Especially in a CW contest it would be nice to be able to turn the RIT on during XMIT (because I forgot to turn it on before starting to call CQ and need to be ready to jump when I go back into RX). Once on, the RIT should stay on until you shut it off or power off the K3.  Changing bands shouldn't turn it off either.  Just my wish and opinion.

You might want to turn "CONFIG:SPLT SV" on - at least then you only have
to turn RIT on once per band, and it seems to persist thought power
cycle too.

I'll second this Ralph!

Along with the promised Filter BW adjustment during Tx.

Usually too busy during receive to play with knobs... OK so my typing skills are lacking ;o)
