I am or was a knob guy. When contesting I liked having knobs that I could turn if I need to do so vs. having to enter into a menu in the heat of a contact or pileup to change something.
What I have found with the K3, I just don't feel the need to do anything other than turn the vfo knob or tighten up the roofing filters..... I own two FT-2000's and they do look cool and work fine but they don't work as well as the K3.

You look at the specs...if its too small for you, get something that isn't. ------------------------- 73, Greg - AB7R Whidbey Island WA NA-065 On Mon Jan 26 7:17 , "Simon \(HB9DRV\)" sent: >----- Original Message ----- >From: "R.
