WOW, what a beautiful radio.... re the new pic.
However, examining the front, I see that VOX on and off is slaved with the
"band switch" (such as it is). That will be very frustrating well after I
get used to all the other odd controls. That is, I switch off my VOX when
someone comes in the room, and many other times. I have been continually
frustrated with my Mk5 and 775dsp that neither has an easily visible VOX on
or off, altho they do have separate switches for same. Now the K3 puts that
control on with the band sw, and I can see I will have to think extra to
avoid changing bands just to control the VOX, quite irritating in my world.
Another super example of making the panel too small for this feature-packed
radio.
I hrd rumor that the Elecraft guys started with their idea of an ideal
package size and worked all the rest of the rig into that predetermined
idea. Sorry, but backward thinking.... design the features and then size
the package to fit the features.... the cart and horse strikes again.
Before using the K3, my thot is now to have an ORION and a K3 instead of two
K3s so that my need for a real panel will be satisfied.
But, keep my order for my K3 active......... 73
