Correction...make that 4" from the TF-SET/REV button to the *center* of the
Main VFO knobs.
Also I would personally find it very difficult to do REV using the K3's SUB
button due to the very tight spacing of the SUB location. There's simply no
way my fingers would fit while depressing SUB and trying to turn the VFO
knob with another finger. The spacing is far too tight, not to mention the
position of SUB being very low even with the bail extended. To me it looks
more like a two-hand operation than one-hand due to the very tight spacing.
Maybe a Menu option could make everyone happy, but I like it the way it is
now.
