Personally, I prefer to use my hand, meaning more than one finger when operating over my index finger on a mouse 🐭 Call me whatever but nothing is going to remove my K3 from me other than death 💀
Even then my cold stiff fingers will need prying from the K3 Eye candy 🍬 and pretty touchy feely thingies will not get me more contacts. Oh well, call it progress I guess, but I will stick with my bullet proof K3, it just works.

Perhaps lesson learned that everyone does not like those touch sensitive, menu driven, color display radios. Besides, why rely on a computer to run your transceiver when it can be done easily as a standalone device when no computer is available or desired. I have tried tuning with a mouse wheel and clicking on a display with several rig software applications, and I think tuning with a real knob is a lot more convenient and satisfying to me. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/2/2015 7:51 PM, Doug Person via Elecraft wrote: > Icom recently released news about the upcoming IC-7300 > <http://icomamerica.com/en/products/amateur/hf/7300/default.aspx> to > be available by the end of the year.
