There's the rub members of my local club were not overly interested in my K3 as it doesnt have all the knobs etc on the front panel, you cant change the color of the display and it isnt heavy I really find that sad ,, I would get lost from time to time placing my TS 850 in a unknown state by accidently pushing a wrong button ,, hasnt happened on the K3 the GUI is great but simple and some think simple relates to poor or ineffective as I am a casual operator and dont use 1/10 the features avaible but wanted a rig that would hold up to some of the nasty krap on HF ,,, K3 Rocks,, was fun to build and has great support
