[Elecraft] OT: Kenwood's new rig?

[Fred Smith]

I was just counting the buttons and dial on the front of my FTDX-5000MP a
total of 89. If you include the scope and speakers there are adjustments for
both with them add 5 more. For the life of me I can't think of a need for
any more buttons than what are on this radio. Once the radio has been setup
the first time and the EQ setup for your voice and perimeters set I think I
have been into the menus maybe 2 dozen times in 2 years.

One bad thing about the Kenwood is the buttons are very small on the Yaesu
much larger I have big fingers it would be a problem for me. But to stick
another 50 buttons on the front of my radio I would have never bought it.

 Regardless of how well it performs, a lot of people will want it for the
number of front panel controls.  This must be a new record!
