[Elecraft] K3 endless menus
Don Wilhelm said: Brett, I think the K3 gets an undeserved bad rap for the menus. The main menu has only 13 items in it, and those are the items most likely to be changed during operation. ___ I agree. I was intially overwhelmed by the CONFIG menus. However, after I got my K3 tailored just the way I wanted it - took about a month elapsed time - I only change a parameter very occasionally, except for two which I assigned to the PF buttons. [QSK + and SPKRS ON ] And it is easy to do -IF- one reads the User Manual. And I appreciate being able to make a bunch of design decisions for myself, for just my radio. eric VA7DZ -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 endless menus
A great future enhancement would be to allow the user to assign, via the K3 utility software, which functions go to Menu and which go to Config. Frequently-used functions on Menu, the rest on Config. Could probably be done with a table of pointers and a little software magic. --- On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 11:54 AM, eric manning eric.mann...@engr.uvic.cawrote: Don Wilhelm said: Brett, I think the K3 gets an undeserved bad rap for the menus.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 endless menus
Remember the menus in the FT-1000MP? All numeric and very obscure. The K3 is a sweet dream in comparison. /Rick N6XI On 8/10/10, eric manning eric.mann...@engr.uvic.ca wrote: Don Wilhelm said: Brett, I think the K3 gets an undeserved bad rap for the menus.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 endless menus
For all the money it cost's...check out the FTdx9000 menue display...IF your eyesight can see them, they are numbered also...good idea, bad engineering, and don't even start about the cost of the radioGrin The K3 sure does have a lot of great features and for me they are all easy to follow and read etc. 73's Gary On Wed, Aug 11, 2010 at 2:29 PM, Rick Tavan N6XI rta...@gmail.com wrote: Remember the menus in the FT-1000MP?
