NEW Q SIGS:
QKN? "How many knobs does your radio have?"
QKK? "How many of them do you actually know how to use?"
I find that my KLR [knob learning rate] on a new radio is about 1 K/M
[knob per month]. I would like to finish the learning curve within my
life expectancy, I'm 67, hence smaller numbers are good. I studied a
new IC-7800 at K6IDX's place a couple of years ago. The number of
knobs, switches, and buttons exceeds my ability to count them, and few
if any of the legends conjured up anything that I thought I knew about
radio. I've seen the K3 at an NCCC meeting. It's HF [human factor] is
within my limits and I think I can handle it.
