Being a six footer & able a palm a basketball in my youth I don't find the K3 too crowded. I don't have small hands to say the least. I seem to be able to use the radio just fine. At least in the 18 months I've owned one. Our radio club is small. At Field Day we've used two K3s & a K2. No complaints from the various operators. No big box 50+ lb. radios brought out tho. Too heavy to lug around I guess. When I contest I log with a laptop. Being an awful typer I watch what I type. For me a P3 I' d move for my best view would be better than having to stare at the transceiver straight on. If you ever wanted to try DXing from a DX location bet you can't drag a 60 lb. radio as a carry on. K3, switcher PS & acc. under 20 lb.s Being a lefty & only partly ambidexterous my only K3 complaint is the message pad is set for rightys. Oh well just a small problem. In my 51 years of hamming I've sat in front of just about everything made. I'm keeping my K3....... K9IL
PS: Going to be ruff dragging that little KPA 500 around instead of a big box 80 lb. amplifier. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
