K3 endless menus

Brett,

I think the K3 gets an undeserved "bad rap" for the menus.  The main
menu has only 13 items in it, and those are the items most likely to be
changed during operation.

I agree. I was intially overwhelmed by the CONFIG menus. However, after I got my K3
tailored just the way I wanted it - took about a month elapsed time - I only change a parameter
very occasionally, except for two which I assigned to the PF buttons. [QSK + and SPKRS ON ]

And it is easy to do -IF- one reads the User Manual.

And I appreciate being able to make a bunch of design decisions for myself,  for just my radio.

A great future enhancement would be to allow the user to assign, via the K3
utility software, which functions go to Menu and which go to Config.

Frequently-used functions on Menu, the rest on Config.

Could probably be done with a table of pointers and a little software magic.

Remember the menus in the FT-1000MP? All numeric and very obscure. The K3 is
a sweet dream in comparison.

For all the money it cost's...check out the FTdx9000 menue display...IF your
eyesight can see them, they are numbered also...good idea, bad engineering,
and don't even start about the cost of the radio....Grin

The K3 sure does have a lot of great features and for me they are all easy
to follow and read etc.
