Toby et al, Like Gary Lee, I'm a blind ham and have been using the K3 quite successfully for the past two years. As stated by others, Elecraft has promised improved access to the K3 for such things an the config menus. After some initial sighted help to set a few of the menu settings, I've managed to utilize most of the features including the NB NR CW and voice memories, all split functions and diversity RX. I operate 99% CW on the low bands chasing DX. Also, the FW upgrades are a breeze with the K3 utility.
Previously, I've owned many other rigs with menus that were much more difficult to use with out sighted assistance. Some of those include: FT-1K-MP, MP Field, IC-756 Pro and by far the most difficult and questional performance was the FT-2000. In summary, I'm delighted with the K3, its performance is outstanding, the support from Elecraft is great and I'm sure they will continue to improve the access for us blind hams. 73, Bob K3UL K3: 1572 and 3004 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
