Common sense is a good thing to have handy when firing up a new K3...Grin All knobs to the right is not good..:-(
I found the K3 one of the most delightful radios to learn to use, coming from an FTdx-9000D I was smitten by the simplicity of the K3 and just 'Wowed Out' over what it could do. Three years plus down the track and I am still very impressed and even now, just every now and then, I discover a forgotten tweak and it reaffirms my belief in the K3. Thanks to ALL the "Ele_Team", what a great product.... I still carry the manual wherever I take the K3...you just never know...... 73's Gary.
