[Elecraft] [OT] [OT] [OT] K2a

With any transceiver, there is always the problem of the ham behind the 
VFO knob.  If you can solve that, it would be of great benefit to the 
entire ham community.

An advanced transceiver will be more and more complex. but hopefully as 
technologies advance, the manufacturers will provide default menu items 
that will produce a workable transceiver.
The Elecraft K3 default menus do provide a quite workable transceiver 
(although the kit version does need to be calibrated). Many users will 
want to optimize the menu settings for their particular operating 
desires and environment, but a factory built K3 will work FB "out of the 
box".
