I've been using Elecraft transceivers exclusively
for 15 years (K2, now K3 as primary base station),
so my recent personal experience is limited. I
have heard it said that Elecraft approach of fewer
buttons and knobs, with short presses and long
presses on the buttons, is less user-friendly than
having more buttons and knobs (the 50 lb FTdx-5000
appears to be festooned with knobs and buttons).
But beyond that I can't really comment: I'm happy
with the K3 ergonomics. I do get a bit confused by
my KX3 at times, though -- more by the differences
between it and my K3 than anything else :-)

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)?
