[Elecraft] K3 ease of use

[Simon Brown (HB9DRV)]

I have a TS-2000 next to the K3, IMO the K3 is easier to use but the TS-2000 
does offer more - 2m/70cms, satellites, memory scanning etc.

Given all that it does it's maybe cruel to berate the TS-2000. I am very 
interested in UI work and find the K3's layout to be very good. The only 
thing I would like is a button I can press in CW mode to toggle between 
current bandwidth and 1kHz, this can probably be done by programming PF1 or 
PF2, a 'tap' button such as M1 would be preferable.

I admit to only having read the manual while assembling the beast, other 
than that I just wind the filter width down, set a pleasant AGC and listen. 
And write code, lots and lots of code!
