Touch screens on something in the K3 form factor are of little use... Also own 7100 and that screen is troublesome to use and makes me wish I had gone with K3X and another separate 2m/440
FT8 mode would mean many firmware updates plus not clear how you get all the useful display information... it would just be trouble and not really worth it in the radio. Unlike PSK or RTTY where it is more obvious which signal is being worked... the flexible channel like behavior is just too much for the radio form factor... I like big screens and I just cant deny ....
