Thanks Bill and to all the others you all have given great info here. lots to plan. and Id enjoy reading others experiences as well bad or good. I will have to spend some time to figure out what to do with the function keys. and think about the briefing. The one issue I have is the mic gain has to be adjusted quite a bit when switching to the FP mic only one of our opps has the tendency to play a bit and will get the polite riot act reading.
on a partly related topic when I save the config will it also save the tuners memories? if I have to restore the config will I have to "retrain" the tuner. this is not hard using the K3 EZ but should problems happen and I dont have to do the tuner thing that will be nice.
