I'll add my $0.02. I'm not a huge fan of touch screen for the same reasons John mentions. However, I would surely welcome a more modern color screen on my K3. Maybe even a few programmable touch buttons in a similar fashion to the buttons across the bottom of the P3.
Hey, we all bought into the Elecraft performance story, and voted with our dollars. But who wouldn't want a more modern look and feel, which by definition means a color graphics screen. That sentiment has been echoed before on this list, and I'm a newbie here, less than a year. Here's a crazy idea: Take the P3 display and put it into the K3. And then I wouldn't have to purchase a separate unit just for a panadapter. I bet I'm not alone when I say my operating space has much competition for prime desktop real estate!!! The idea of a separate standalone panadapter is pretty "old school" ;) What modern high performance rig doesn't have one built in? Don't bash me on that, I voted with my $$$, I'm a proud K3/P3 owner. But I can have a wish list, can't I? ;) -Chris K1AY On Thu, Sep 3, 2015 at 9:06 AM, John Fritze <[email protected]> wrote: > While I think touch screen technology is neat, and perhaps faster, my main > complaint is the screen is always filthy with finger oils.
