[Elecraft] PX3

[GRANT YOUNGMAN]

Come on guys.  Can we stop the “mine is bigger than yours” because my-display-is-better because I-have-a-finger wars here?  Really???  You want to deal with Icom?  Buy one.  I’ve owned several of them over the last 20 years.  They’re just peachy, although some are less/more peachy than others.  Go!! .. be happy.  

Yes, my delete key works, too.  But I’m getting tired of using it on this topic, and I suspect I’m not alone.

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.
