firmware suggestion for k3

[Gary Lee-2]

I would like some sort of audible indication that a reasonable match has
been obtained with the autotuner.
I sugggest "k" for a match, and "s" for swr alert.

Failing that, and maybe easier since you have the switch tones in place, a
high pitched beep for good match and low for no good.

Being totally blind, this would sure increase my confidence operating the
k3.

What you all think?

Great idea, Gary -- now on my list, along with full CW or DVR feedback
for all controls. This will take time to complete, though.

May I suggest "C" and "N"  The "C" is short hand in CW for yes (I think it comes from the Spanish word for yes) and of course "N" would be no.

How about this...it would send the SWR on Morse.  HMMMMMM.  Cool

Could it be another menu item to turn it off or on?

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply. If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it. If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense. Is Common Sense divine?

C is normally sent if you choose the CW mode so I think this should be
avoided for SWR purposes.  The normal for modes is the first letter, L
for LSB, U for USB etc so these need to be avoided elsewhere.

Actually the Kenwood TS-570 had such a scheme implemented. Whenever one
would press the mode button one would get some CW feedback and I've never
been confused by that feedback. Signalling for high SWR was both on-screen
and by an "SWR" message in CW.

This is also an excellent way to preserve and promote CW use :)

CW pops up in various consumer devices. I think it would be great for
eyes-free texting on cellphones, too.

I used to have a TS-570 and the audio indication of SWR on auto tune was
just fine, lets not re-invent another set of beeps.

Wayne,

I hope that this is not high on your list.

With all respect to everyone, this does not really add something to the
performance of the K3.

In my list of ranking software releases:
1. bugfix  
2. nice to have, can do without  
3. improvement in essential performance / extending TX-RX capabilities  
4. need to have  

This is a number 2.


73,
Arie PA3A

This of course depends on whether you are blind or partially sighted I
guess?
