Yup... RTFM....
I read the Op manual 4 times from cover to cover before the radio even
arrives (assembly manual 3 times). Then, after it was built I went
through it page by page and used EVERY single function and looked at
EVERY single menu location. I have binders with every manual with
changes posted as a manual backup in case the power fails. I go through
and check for docs updates monthly on every piece of equipment I own. I
read the K3s Op manual cover to cover minimum twice a year.... and of
course every time I do something obscure like build a custom K3s, P3,
3rd Party Amplifier interface cable harness.
RTFM.... When I was a young guy, I could read it once and basically
have it stored like a photo. Not so much anymore.... age or experiences
(I don't know which) somehow broke that feature.

A better more up to date menu system that either removes or better,

lack explanation about additional keypad presses. There are even some
for which software updates need to be consulted though that is a
different matter. Some menu choices could well be better homed as
front panel controls.
My experience is quite different. From the beginning (in 2008), I
found the user interface very well thought out. Maybe that's because I
started by RTFM. Everything I need while operating is on the front
panel. The menus are organized so that they are almost never needed
during operation except to fix a setting that was wrong in the first
place. I can't remember the last time I needed to go into menus for
anything but setup with new outboard equipment.
My K3s replaced a pair of FT1000MPs. Everything about the K3
performance and user interface is far superior. AND the change freed
up a LOT of space on my operating desk!
