[Elecraft] K3: Elecraft Wiki (was Noise reduction

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I learned Elecraftish from the K2.  Had my fun with that for sure, as
probably does everyone that comes from a Yakencom background.  I also
had a hard time first learning an FT1000MP, as I did an Orion.

The K3 layout philosophy developed because Elecraft started with very
small boxes that required that style of button and menu.  It got
sorted out over time and was the main evolution of the layout paradigm
in use on the K3 which allowed it to be a small and as portable as it
is now.  They knew it was workable because it eased up on the K2 which
they already knew was workable.

It's easy to do big.  It's a PITA to do small right.

73, Guy.
