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

[Brian Alsop]

Now if we only had some decent labels to stick on those "10 switches"

Conventional computer labels seem to last a couple weeks before peeling 
off.  Tiny writing isn't my strength so they are cryptic and only 
marginally readable. M1-M4 require diagonal printing.

The other criterion is they have to come off at a desired time without 
residue.
