G'day,
I don't recall all this anguish about the layout of the K2 front panel.
Why can't we just accept that it is as it is and get a life and get on
with better things. I'm sure there is no way it's going to redesigned to
suit individual whimsy. I for one am utterly sick of hearing about it.

Agreed... I get a bit too wound up about it as it would frustrate me if
I was the designer. I've been very happy wtih Wayne's prior priority
structure and I'm sure it'll continue that way in the future.
The one I'm still interested in playing with is the DVR. It'll probably
be mostly a wowgit

The solution is really very simple. Just have a bank of K3's. One
for each band of interest. With a switching arrangement to suit the
operator. Hams can't leave everything up to the rig designers.
Also, maybe the firmware download could have a menu, with user
selectable features. One siz

I rather miss sliding the honeycomb wound coils over the wooden dowels
and landing the leads in Fahnestock clips followed by plugging in a new
crystal to change bands. It was made more interesting by forgetting to
turn off the HV but was a great way to wake up in the morning.

Isn't that true with the Icom, Kenwood and Yaesu radios? You have to use it the
way it's designed... What a concept. I hope Elecraft has their filter
working on this one, drops
Wow - never thought anything as simple as a band select button would cause such
commotion. Back when there were rotary bandswitches you had to go through 40 to
get from 80 to 20. How did we ever manage that? Such silly stuff.
