In a post speaking to the Sherwood chart, it was said, "........too many people jump on one number to rate (rank) equipment and totally disregard things like ergonomics (If they didn't the K3 would be at the bottom of the list)."

What is so bad about how the K3 is designed (ergonomics)? This is not the first time I have seen this said. I do not find it particularly challenging to use the panel controls or the menus - but, maybe that's just me. Is it the lack of curves and swirls or plastic molding? I go for functionality of design - not eye candy.

The only thing I did to improve the controls on my K3 was to add a TenTec tire to the main VFO knob - it increases the diameter slightly and has a nicer feel to it than hard plastic.
