I don't want to depend on my computer. I don't want to have to repeatedly push an up/down button.
I don't want to custom-program memories, and have to remember what's what. I want to directly go to the band I want with a dedicated keypad. I bought the K3 despite this shortcoming, so I accept it, just like I accept that, for me, the radio is a bit too physically small, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It means only that I understand that practically everything in life is a compromise. 73, Steve NN4X P.S: It looks like Windows 7 is going to support touch screen input. Imagine the interfaces that'll be possible THEN! We could create our own K3 on a big touch screen monitor, and it could be HUGE, and maybe I could even get my direct band-switching! Maybe I could write a UI that would make the K3 look like a 75A-4 or something (but with a built-in band scope ;-) ).
