I'd like to see a K3 FW feature change. I'll back off if anyone
believes it's a bad idea.
CURRENT: Turning on the KPA500 scrolls a message in VFO B that I've
just turned the KPA500 on. Actually, I knew that and didn't need the
message. Mine is set to come up in STBY [also when I change bands].
When I go to OPER, another message scrolls in VFO B telling me that I
just did that. I also knew that and didn't need the message.
CHANGE: Replace both messages with one that tells me what the K3 power
will be when I next tap the paddle [or talk]. I've got the two power
levels for each band set, and most of the time it works. Occasionally,
after adjusting the high power antenna tuner with just the K3 in TUNE
[5W], going to OPER leaves the power at 5W. Once, it went to 100W which
faults off the KPA500 instantly, of course. Occasionally, the K3 stays
at low power when I go to STBY.
