  I felt the same as above until I started using programs to control
  both my Uniden WS780XL Trunking Scanner and my Ten-Tec RS320D
  "black box" HF all-band computer-controlled receiver.  I no
  longer have to squint at the dial and knob legends and use a
  magifing glass to read them.  If the control program is a good
  one - as the ones for the above are - they wioll have a "front
  panel" graphic that fills the whole screen -- 19" (rack panel
  size) in my case.  I can control from the keyboard or the
  trackball.

  I wish that I could find a similar full-screen-layout-graphic
  control program for the K2.

  Suggestion?
