Remember in "Oh God" when George Burns as God admitted to Denver that he made a mistake and made the Avocado seed too large? I never forgot that part of the movie. When it comes to the K3, my only real ergonomics complaint the opposite of that seed problem, its that the VFO B knob is just too small. It makes it more difficult to fine tune a QRX transmit point and a larger knob would be more functional to me. Otherwise I have no issues with the ergonomics of the K3.
