[Elecraft] The case against touch screens

[Mark Petiford]

 RE:   "...a large percentage of the time a touch screen does not respond to my finger."

I thought it was just me!  I also have a problem with selecting the wrong thing, which is extremely time consuming and frustrating.  That is probably due to my essential tremors which have increased with my age, as expected.  That kept me from selling my KX3 and buying an IC-7300 (LOVE the screen!)...well, that and portability and Elecraft support and the KX3 receiver and...

 ...It must be just me, because a large percentage of the time a touch screen does not respond to my finger. I have experienced this at ATMs, at the self checkout at Home Depot, at the airport, on my smart phone, etc. When you have to stand there, tapping over and over to get them to respond, touch screens just aren't as reliable, responsive, accurate, or fast as a control.

The next time you tap something on your phone, and you have to tap again to get it to work, I want you to think of me.
