Interesting.  This came up fairly recently either here or on the K3 Yahoo
Group.  I used a TS-930S for many years and learned to depress TF-SET
(Kenwood's equivalent to REV) with my left index finger and tune the Main
VFO with my left pinky.  Since I found it very natural to do the same with
REV in the K3, out of curiosity I actually measured the distance of both
rigs from the TF-SET/REV button to the edge of the Main VFO knob.  Both are
~4"...which explains why the K3 felt very natural to me.  I do have big
hands (~10" thumb tip to pinky tip) so this probably doesn't work for people
with smaller spans.  BTW I suspect the 930/940 probably had more all time
units in the field than any other rig.  

73,  Bill  W4ZV
