And now for something completely different (regarding K3/P3 displays): Since I rarely look at the radio display when operating, I don’t need/want fancy colors/fonts/graphics. All I need is Info that is easy to read when I need it. Same for the P3. Give me what I need with a minimum of fuss. Also easy to focus on after many hours without sleep. And please: no touch screens. The last thing I need is a bunch of greasy fingerprints all over the display. And I need my hands to stay on the keyboard(s). Minimal motion and all that stuff. And the same can be said for P3 mouse point and click. This is radio, not a video game. And now back to your regular conversation…. ;^)

Besides my K3 & P3, I also have an Icom IC-7300. The touch color display of the IC-7300 is essentially the same size as the P3 and I think the P3 is a little tiny bit larger of maybe 1/8th inch larger diagonal measure. The information on the IC-7300 is basically the same as the combo of the K3 and P3 although different display options (mostly on the 7300) makes this a dubious comparison. But, I think that the entire P3 display could be used as a full K3+P3 display however I am betting that all the information necessary to drive the K3 display is not available to the P3 and not practical to create an interface to handle it. My two-bits on the matter. 73, phil, K7PEH > On May 30, 2017, at 2:59 PM, Thom <k...@ki8w.com> wrote: > > I was turning the knob on a K3S at Dayton and thought to myself...this looks > like the display on my 10 year old Kenwood TS-570D.
