[Elecraft] Interesting K3 Pan Adapter Development

[hank k8dd]

Personally I'm not a fan of panadapters or fancy displays on radios.  
Give me a tuning knob, volume control, and a good front end like the 
K2/100 has (maybe some day a K3 when Run 2 runs out the door) and that's 
about all I need!

WriteLog allows you to do the same thing as N1MM and a few other logging 
programs - "point & click" on the band map and cluster spots. 

However this mode of operation pointing and clicking spots or band map 
entries is a very small part of the total contest venue -- except at the 
multi-op stations for the multiplier station, where you have more time 
to fiddle with the mouse (or knobs) to tune in the station than a run or 
search and pounce station has.

So, yes, there is room for a mouse on the operating desk .... just not 
much use for it when you are running or sweeping the band looking for 
new stations.

These are my opinions and I own them!
