It is very true that - in a contest situation - we aren’t often concerned with measuring signal levels.  No argument.

And, if contesting,  DXing and rag chewing are all you use your K3 / K4 for, then I understand why you aren’t interested in the additional bells & whistles that are being discussed here.

But many of us use the K3 / K4 for other purposes also.  Even with the current implementation in the K3 / K3S, the dbm referenced signal measurement capability is extremely useful.    My K3 was invaluable when I had an electronics lab as a very sensitive and selective calibrated RF voltmeter.   Used it constantly both for design and for troubleshooting during many construction projects.

I think the kinds of enhancements being discussed here will be a valuable addition to the K4 and encourage additional discussion.
