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

[W7TEA]

Front panel jack placement not only affects "lefties."  I am right handed and
tune the VFO and use the key with that hand.  But I adjust gain, bandwidth
and PBT knobs with my left hand. So, front panel plugs for headphones, key
and mic get in the way.  I applaud Elecraft for allowing such connections in
the rig's back panel.  On my Omni VII, I used the rear panel speaker plug
for headphone audio and the ACC plug to connect a keyer.  Otherwise front
panel plugs would block, or make very awkward, access to the Multi, BW, and
gain knobs.
