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

[Keith Heimbold]

I have owned some yaesu rigs (FT950, 920,450,857D) and most have menus at one level or another. The FT920 was the easiest one to operate but the other three had levels of menus similar to the K3.

I think the K3 may have a steeper learning curve compared to those other radios, but once you get familiarized with the radio it is easy and fun. 

Plus it is way more fun to hear (and  then work) stations that you cannot hear on those other radios and I have done A/B testing and can attest to those extra DXCC entity contacts that I would not have had without the K3. So definitely more fun for me.
