[Elecraft] K3 Display is Dated...

[Ken K6MR]

Not costly at all. You likely already have it on your desk.  Build whatever fancy screen you want and drive the radio through the control port. Make it touch screen if you like. Big, small, color, whatever you want. The power of software.

I remember one of the first SDR radio boards had an interface that let you move the controls around on the screen. Pretty much build any front  panel layout you wanted.

One compromise, undoubtedly costly, would be a customisable display like upper-end cars are now wearing.  Users could place whatever indicators they wanted, wherever they wanted, in whatever combination they wanted.

But I like the Elecraft displays just as they are, for all the reasons others have enumerated, especially the commonality among the various rigs.
