[Elecraft] comparisons of K3 control software

[WA8JXM]

Chester, I have wondered the same thing.   I see some functions that an 
on screen button can speed up, such as changing power levels. but most 
of the time I prefer using the rig rather than the mouse. That's one 
reason I prefer operating the K3 vs. the FlexRadio.  The main thing I 
want a computer involved for is logging, digital modes, and multi unit 
synchoronization (such as the KAT500 with either the K3 or the Flex 
6300.)   But for routine operating, changing frequency or channels, 
changing CW speed, etc. I much prefer the rig vs the computer.
