K3 ergonomics

[greenacres113-2]

I  went thru the same question. Being over 6' tall & I could 'palm' a basketball in my youth I wasn't sure. I used a friends K2 & K3 on FD the last 3 yr.s. I realized it was no more difficult or easier to operate than a big rig. Another friend has a TS 2000 which is 'prettier' maybe......but I wouldn't trade my K3 for three of them. It's  also 'prettier' to move the K3 on the operating desk or  take to FD than one of the 50-60 lb giants. I couldn't care less what it  looks like on the outside anyway. I care what  the insides DO. I'm not a full contester but a DXer.  Just my opinion.

IMHO, the TS-2000 is a REALLY UGLY radio
