I have to make a comment.  I just looked at the Sienna and before I read anything about the radio itself, I was struck by how ugly the front panel was -- it reminded me of some old antiquated automation control panel of sub-station equipment (e.g. an RTU).  And, I thought to myself, I am glad the K3 has the look that it has.  And, I am not even a K3 owner -- not yet that is but hopefully soon will be.

However, to be fair, my observation was the first thought that came into my mind -- I will need to print out the image of the front panel and stare at it for awhile.

However, everyone has a different opinion about these things and that is what makes our world more interesting then ...??... I am not sure, but whatever it is we are more interesting then it.
