[Elecraft] PX3

[Doug Person]

Honestly, the size of the spectral display isn't as important as the 
fact that it is extremely effective.  It works.  It's all in one small 
box.  The K3/K3s - P3 and KX3/PX3 are wonderful bits of technology.  But 
their U/I's remain a fine examples of the best of 20th century design.  
Large, full color, capacitive-touch, fully reconfigurable displays are 
becoming more pervasive every day. Refrigerators have them.  Top of the 
line test equipment, remote controls on the coffee table, car dash 
boards with two or more displays, it goes on and on.

The IC-7300 is Icom's first shot at full-color touch technology. They 
pioneered the full color display and were very successful at it.  It's 
pretty clear that the Big Three have recognized the paradigm shift.  In 
a few short years everything else will look dated - because it will be.
