Well, let's compare it to an Icom IC-7800 for example. Looking at the front panel I count 37 rotary knobs, 10 LEDs, and 82 push buttons. That doesn't include the stuff on the display, which also has two analog meter simulations, each with six scales.
The software re-write in progress is separating the user interface from the signal-processing. This will make it easier to have different "skins". For the HF CW ops there can be a cleaner panel without FM, DSB, transverter, microphone level, etc. A skin for the AM ragchewers doesn't care about general coverage, 25 Hertz filter, CWU, etc. Some will have the received signal power meter, others won't. If I get a chance to write a skin, I'll change those acres of push-buttons to pull-downs. Won't that be a clean panel?
