Congratulations, Joe.

Why, and allow others to avoid the same fate as us?  Nope.  We just
keep greasing that slippery slope!

I found a couple of weeks was all I needed to learn the K3 well enough
to use it in anger during SS.  Perhaps I'm a quick study, but other than
tweaking some parameters and getting familiar with button placement, the
radio is quite easy to use despite being a complex device that does a
lot of functions for us.

Enjoy!
