Charles,

I cannot support that assumption, but then maybe I am not among the 
"MOST operators".

Convenience for the most used functions is in order (and the K2 is 
sufficient in that regard, the K3 will be better), but having a knob for 
each and every function available on the radio is just not necessary in 
most operating environments IMHO.  The desires of the contest operator 
will of course, be different than for a casual operator, but too many 
buttons and knobs gets in the way of most operating scenarios that I can 
imagine.  If one desires a larger front panel, there is always HRD or 
N4PY software to 'fix' that problem - if the resulting software panel is 
not large enough, one can always get a larger monitor.

73,
