[Elecraft] Is the K3 a "fun" radio to operate ?

[Bob]

That Yaesu rig to which you refer takes up a lot more space and weighs
several times what my K3 does -- which is another factor.

I find that I rarely use the K3 menus.  In my case that was mostly a set
and forget thing.  Beyond that I find it very easy and "fun" to use my K3.
Unlike a brand new, best in Icom "thinking" IC9100 which was a nightmare to
use by comparison (and nowhere near the performance) which required
constant menu interaction for the most mundane things.  I rarely use the
9100 for that reason.

Human factors are very important and seem to be often overlooked.  For an
example of how not to do things, just take a look at some of the cheap dual
band handhelds coming from China.
