OK - I can't stand it any more ! Here's my 2 cents. I want a K3! I want it to be the same size as my Collins KWM-2 - in fact, I'd like it to look and "feel" like my M2 or S-Line gear with a great cabinet, really nice paint, excellent rotary knob placement and size with just a couple of additio

Don, That is almost exactly my point! I think the K2 provides all the hooks for a larger front panel based on a standard computer of some sort. For backpack operation, I want something like the traditional mobile detachable head, like Ken WB6MLC does with his Yaesu rig. I don't want to tak
