GM Bill, K3_EZ, Win4K3, and I believe N4PY's software allows adjustment of a variety of the K3's parameters from your PC. Of course, using macros is another means by which you can change K3 parameters. While not the favorite means for many, I find using my PC and appropriate programs often a great way to operate my K3's (plural).
That isn't to say I don't use the front panel controls. I just don't use most very often. A friend purchased and then sold a K3 in spite of my encouragement. While being an Elecraft fan boy as a friend at the Prescott Hamfest described me this weekend, I find the K3 front panel and menu system "elegant" and the K4's even more elegant. I can't wait to operate the latter when it arrives in NM! Maybe Wayne or Eric will have mine in Plano next weekend (hint, hint)? Not everyone is as enthusiastic about the K3 as I. While I am amazed they are not, I still call many of them my friends. They're just the "other" friends who don't own and use Elecraft gear. Of course, one old friend who owns an IC-7610 enjoys my bring the KPA1500 to his shack for contesting weekends. Linked together, that combination is a perfect demonstration of the value in using effective station integration. I use his normal station as an example of why station integration is a requirement (in my mind) in a contest at 2:00 a.m. 73 from Yavapai Campground in the Prescott National Forrest, Bill, K8TE P.S. at 73 and somewhat arthritic, after two weeks of RV travel to and from HamVention, activating counties and parks along the way, I was directed to leave the HF at home for this long weekend. I need to setup my home station to operate remotely to avoid HF withdrawal. However, looking at the WX reports (thunderstorms), I am glad everything electronic is disconnected from the outside world at the K8TE Command Post. > I?m 76 years old with moderate loss of feeling in fingertips and a > lot of arthritis so adjusting the gains on my K3S is difficult.
