[Elecraft] QST Review: Minor Quibble

[Rick Tavan N6XI]

Well, if NCJ counts as an ARRL publication, then they did compare the K3
knob and button spacing with those of the FT-1000MP in that forum. I
wrote "Rotary
controls are slightly larger but slightly closer than on the MP. K3
pushbutton spacing is slightly wider." Of course, that's not nearly as
detailed as W8ZR's comprehensive report nor as strident as yours but it does
reach the same conclusion and was published under an ARRL masthead.
