Yeah maybe, but compromises made to keep the K3 small are still very real to
folks who don't have the Royal Jelly from 6-7 years of using Elecrafts.

For the record, I have a 4-year-old K2 as well as a K3, but I also have a
Yaesu 1000D and there's a lot to be said for the ergonomics of the larger
radio.  I've become accustomed to most of the K3's compromises for a small
front panel, but the one that still drives me CRAZY is band-switching by
stepping through the bands one at a time.  If the K4 changes nothing else, I
hope it changes that by providing a one-touch method for selecting a band.
