Re: Improvement changes to K2 and K1 transceivers

I have not seen anyone ask yet for the way the frequency changes when
switching from SSB to CW to be changed. I want to be able to call CQ on SSB,
hear a weak station calling on CW and switch to CW to return the call
without having to retune. This is a fairly common scenario when using the K2
for weak signal microwave work via transverters.

I hope the K3 does have this capability, I will seriously consider changing
my IC756 if that is the case (and if the noise blanker suppresses radar
signals better than the K2 manages).

John, myself and somebody else requested this feature specifically for
VHF/UHF work. (This SSB > CW > SSB scenario is also very common on 6M, not
just microwave bands.) I was told that they would put it on the firmware
request list. I was assured that there is nothing in the K3's hardware
architecture that would preclude this mode of operation. For more details on
specifically what I asked for, see my post of 4/28/2007 at...
