Brilliant! I have not contested with the amp so I never thought of that.
The K3S band change is sort of a pain.  While at WP2AA earlier this month I
somehow wound up on 5MHz and it's not one of my programmed contest bands. I
have also accidently switched bands while trying to turn the VOX on and off.

Hitting the band switch on the KPA500 is a quick way to avoid cycling
through the bands sequentially on the K3.

What buttons are you using besides ON and maybe OPER/STBY?

Based on the excellent KPA500 design, augmented by user experience, and the
added comments to Eric's question below, I'm confident Elecraft can define
another great product if they so choose.

My request is that the button colors be more functional than they are on the
KPA500.  "Black on Black" is aesthetically very cool in a well-lit
environment, but functionally very poor in most actual operational
environments.  Some of us have replaced the KPA500 button caps with gray and
other colors like on the K3, so we can find the buttons more readily.
