Display opinions

This is fundamentally a form over substance debate.

There is nothing lacking in the current K3/K3S display other than it isn't
fashionable. Fashion isn't why most of us bought these transceivers.

One interesting thing about the Elecraft displays, they can't be screwed up
with clever programming.  As they stand they are highly readable and
predictable.  When companies use fully bit addressable displays there is
always the temptation to use every last pixel, just because they can.  Even
when things start out uncluttered each new release adds to the dysfunction.
There is always too much temptation to screw up a good thing.  Just like
overloading switch functions....

I really appreciate the simplicity and clean obvious function of the K-line
displays.  I truly hate the trend to have to "web two-dot-O' everything.
There is always a balance when it comes to the UI, Elecract nailed it the
first time around!

Thanks Wayne and team.
