[Elecraft] K3 - Ergonomics

[Fred Jensen]

Probably not, Steve.  I use a Pigknob to control my K3 but not for any 
reasons dealing with K3 "ergonomic deficiencies."  I contest with N1MM 
and do occasionally type a frequency into the CALL field to control the 
radio, and N1MM sends for me, but beyond that, I use the controls on the 
radio.  I've tried a couple of software packages but gave them up, 
somehow it just "wasn't radio" for me.  YMMV [actually, it sounds like 
it does :-)]
