WOW, what a beautiful radio.... re the new pic.

However, examining the front, I see that VOX on and off is slaved with the
"band switch" (such as it is).  That will be very frustrating well after I
get used to all the other odd controls.  That is, I switch off my VOX when
someone comes in the room, and many other times.  I have been continually
frustrated with my Mk5 and 775dsp that neither has an easily visible VOX on
or off, altho they do have separate switches for same.  Now the K3 puts that
control on with the band sw, and I can see I will have to think extra to
avoid changing bands just to control the VOX, quite irritating in my world.  
Another super example of making the panel too small for this feature-packed
radio.

I hrd rumor that the Elecraft guys started with their idea of an ideal
package size and worked all the rest of the rig into that predetermined
idea.  Sorry, but backward thinking....  design the features and then size
the package to fit the features.... the cart and horse strikes again.

Before using the K3, my thot is now to have an ORION and a K3 instead of two
K3s so that my need for a real panel will be satisfied.

But, keep my order for my K3 active.........  73

This is only true if package size isn't a priority. If it is, then it's a
feature that, as you say, has to be designed-in before other less important
considerations are implemented.

Whatever your priorities are in design should determine what else you can
do, and how you should do it. Elecraft values effortless portability over a
completely simple (one control per function) user interface. That may not
match your priorities. They could just as easily say that you're thinking
backwards because you could end up with a rig that is too big to be easily
portable.

So the issue isn't backwards thinking, it's different design priorities.

I have limited space and relatively frequent transportation of the radio. So
it works for me.

Thanks, Charles.

I don't think "slaved" is the right word. There's no functional
relationship between the two. VOX is activated by a hold of the switch,
while band change is a tap. The two actions are totally distinct, and
after you get your K3, this will become second nature in about two
seconds.

The LCD display shows "VOX" when it is enabled.

Ron,

you forgot a few criteria; that it would be sold for a cost we can all
afford and make a profit for Elecraft.

Truly you are correct in seeing this as the art of aiming at a
specification that meets a good blend of these; good compromises that we
will want.

        That color scheme is really nice. Is the K3 color scheme changing to
this? I vote yes! It really makes all the labeling stand out nicely.
