[Elecraft] K3 how often do you use it?

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Being retired my K3 is used every day mainly chasing down DX so more 
listening than transmitting.  I don't have any problem with the form 
factor, suits me just fine, so does the K2 I built in 2000 and which 
accounted for over 200 DXCC for me during its evolution from QRP to 
QRO and my improving antenna circumstances.  It took a while to get 
used to the soft buttons on the K3 compared to the solid clicky 
action of those on the K2.  I've never had a pan-display so I don't 
miss it and looking at the operating sequences in the K5D video it 
seems to be a big distraction of limited use.

For me the K3 build experience is no where near as much fun as the 
K2 but that isn't the question.

Regards,
