Harry,
From what you wrote seems the K3/K4 probably is a poor fit for your
ham radio experience. Short time, occasional use probably other
radios would be easier since you probably don't need or would use
many of the features of these radios.
When I bought my K3 (sn4340) in 2010 it took me a few week to fully
understand a lot of its features. But I thoroughly love the
radio. I use the diversity Rx a lot for my eme operating. I
likewise don't care for the sound of the built-in speaker so I either
use and external speaker or headphones.
I'd liken the K3 to something like a Porshe or Maserati. I would
guess you probably prefer a comfortable Mercury or Impala. BTW on
cars I chose a Ford pickup as appropriate to my use.
