I can put up with the ergonomics of the K3 -- I knew about the ergonomic issues when I bought it. There is a limit to the amount of user interface you can put on the front panel of a compact radio.
What does bug me is what another commenter wrote about: the K3 remains unfinished. It is unfinished. It could be still even better with better software. My biggest gripe is the digital NR -- noise reduction. It works acceptably on CW signals, but it is ineffective on SSB. I have spoken to Eric personally about this. My Icom 746 Pro has way better NR than my K3. The lightest setting on the K3's NR is about like winding the knob up 1/3 of the way on the 746 Pro, where is it too much. This could be fixed! This is perhaps the biggest disappointment I have with the radio. The NR works better on the KX3.
