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

[Wayne Burdick]

The K3 has an average number of menu entries for a radio in its class.  
But we've reduced the need to use the menu in two ways.

First, virtually every switch on the K3 has both tap and hold  
functions. This doubles the number of functions available on the panel.

Second, the K3 has up to 10 switches that can be programmed to  
directly execute menu functions or macros. Of these, up to four are  
taps and six are holds. Macros are, in effect, fully customizable  
switches (allowing the operator to define what "fun" means :)

Macros can be created using KX3 Utility and sent to the radio. A  
single macro can do things like "turn on the sub RX, copy VFO A to B,  
move B up 2 kHz, enter split mode, and set BW to 200 Hz."
