I don't think I'd agree that the work that's been done is "frills". A real problem (my opinion, of course) is just this -- someone gripes about something. An audio tick, a nit, a nit on a nit. And Elecraft solves the problem. (Get Yaecomwoodtec to do that!)
I think the real issue has to do with everyone being a designer, a technical expert (or maybe just a generic "expert") an evaluator, an auditor. Lyle and Wayne can't do one thing good without someone finding yet another absurd niggle to complain about. I get the very real sense that a lot of K3 owners spend all of their time hunting down things they can request changes in, things that don't fit THEIR style, things that upset their delicate sensibilities (or delicate hearing) about what a radio SHOULD be ... It never ends that someone is posting unhappyness that some button that doesn't do what THEY think it should do, or gets irritated because they might have to push it twice, or can't keep their fat fingers off the RIT knob, or ... something ..... I know it won't end, but it gets mighty tiring just reading this list some times. Not to mention the multitude of tirades about "problems" that end up being simple failures to RTFM or just RTF-release notes. Of course, whatever it is, Elecraft will provide a fix -- even if the new menu item just becomes a permanent memorial to the one person unhappy with something :-) Grant/NQ5T #2091 with every conceivable option.
