[Elecraft] K3 v. ORION II and flexibility (not that kind)

[Dave]

Two great radios. Two right handed great radios. Two great radios whose developers  paid little or no inclusion to left handed people. 
 I'd suggest that doing more than a software change that a handful of people might want because of their particular activity that we look into real, not virtual, moveable front panels. Imagine taking a main tuning module and placing it towards the left. Take those archaic plugs for the mic, headphones and key and get them away from that all important left side control position. Put them out of the way at the bottom right hand corner. Individual 6 pin modules with concentric knobs  could be placed in a matrix on the front panel, and software could be the tool to activate that position as a user selected control function position (a USCFP).  
 Two great radios that I wouldn't trade for the... unless these were made in left handed models.
