Nothing that follows has anything to do with ergonomics, which is the topic of
this thread, but at my advanced age I no longer suffer fools gladly. I will
answer other comments in another post but yours deserve special attention.
My K3 is S/N 2059, what's yours?
Mine would be even older but I wasn't about to order something that would be
delivered a year later, so I waited until delivery time was a week or so.
If _your_ radio has the microphonic killing VCO stiffener, it's because _my_
radio spent two months back at Elecraft as a guinea pig for the development of
the stiffener. This was after I demonstrated the modulation of the VCO by the
internal speaker, in my radio and his, to an Elecraft engineer in my shack.
I also showed him the differences between my radio and his when the rf-gain was
adjusted. Every radio is different in this regard until the "RF Gain
Calibration" is performed. I spent hours beta testing this software so your
radio will perform better.
A question for you: Do you prefer "grape" Kool-Aid?

Sour grapes from guys who can't believe the K3 is the equal of or better than
their rig which they spent too much on (5 digits, anybody still have their
FTDX-9000's) to get the 100+ pretty lights and useless, mostly unused buttons.
They can't knock the rig on it's performance, 7 years later, so they bring up
"ergonomics".
One word describes that...Weak.

In a post speaking to the Sherwood chart, it was said, "........too many
people jump on one number to rate (rank) equipment and totally disregard
things like ergonomics (If they didn't the K3 would be at the bottom of the
list)."
