My sentiments exactly. Everything I need to see and all the controls I
need for day to day operation is on the K3/K3S front panel and easy to
find/use. This concern with appearances strongly reminds me of consumer
audio and video products, which have small white lettering on a black
chassis that's so hard to read that you need to look up close with a
flashlight! My last HF rigs were a pair of used FT1000MPs. Took up WAY
too much space on my desktop, cluttered display, much less intuitive,
difficult/poorly documented menu structure, much more confusing, than
the K3 that replaced them.
Because I use my much more compact KX3 only occasionally for portable
operations, I do find myself looking for controls. But they're labeled,
so I eventually find them. :)
I don't buy stuff to impress my friends. I buy it to use it!
