Jim, I feel like a newbie. Only 56 years for me. But I agree. When I haul the K3 to KP2M the only knobs I use when I am on frequency are the AF gain and RIT for those who are off frequency. N2TK, Tony

This is exactly the opposite of how I feel about radios -- I'll be 78 in the fall, but I'm still an active guy dragging my gear to portable setups, and my shack is a SO2R contesting setup (single op, two radios). For both reasons, I am VERY happy with the light weight and small footprint of the K3 (as well as it's predecessor, the K2, and relatives, the KX3 and KX2). I don't want big knobs or even a lot of knobs -- when I'm operating, the only knobs I'm using are the gain controls and whatever changes frequency, including RIT or XIT. But what do I know -- I've only been doing it for 63 years. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
