Time-Out Timer

[DL3LSM]

Hello,

is there the possibility to set a transmission Time-Out Timer in the K3 (like in the TS-480)? As more and more people use their rigs remotely this would be nice to have - to limit the transmission to a setable time in case of a communication error or breakdown...

A transmission time-out timer is a valuable suggestion. We have a TS-480
and a TS-2000 serving two remote radios here in Boulder, CO. Combined
these radios have provide more than 4 years of remote service. In that
time the transmission time-out timers have terminated transmissions more
than once because the user has lost contact with the radio while
transmitting. In my opinion a transmission time-out timer is not a nice
feature on a radio providing remote service, it is a necessity.

That is one of the big reasons I don’t use my K3 for remote operation and the other is I cannot turn the radio ON/OFF like my TS-2000.
Hope elecraft can incorporate this fixture in the near future!!
