Gee -- every time I buy (or otherwise need to use) a new product, I 
RTFM. As a result, I've never had any problem with knowing how the K3 
works and getting it to do what I want it to do. And I never bother with 
FAQs, which are written either for users who have never RTFM, or who 
don't know much about the functions for which the product is designed, 
or for products for which the manual is so bad that everyone has 
questions. :)

I'll be 76 years old in a few weeks, and I've been a ham for 62 years. 
I've owned and/or used dozens of radios over the years. I find the 
design and user interface of the K3 series of radios VERY well thought 
out and both the front panel controls and the display quite logical. But 
then, I RTFM.

Another thing -- a K3 is pretty easy to pack as a carry-on -- W0YK 
carries two of them in the passenger compartment for DX and contest 
trips! Try carrying on ONE of those big boat rigs.
