This is exactly the opposite of how I feel about radios -- I'll be 78 in 
the fall, but I'm still an active guy dragging my gear to portable 
setups, and my shack is a SO2R contesting setup (single op, two radios). 
For both reasons, I am VERY happy with the light weight and small 
footprint of the K3 (as well as it's predecessor, the K2, and relatives, 
the KX3 and KX2). I don't want big knobs or even a lot of knobs -- when 
I'm operating, the only knobs I'm using are the gain controls and 
whatever changes frequency, including RIT or XIT.

But what do I know -- I've only been doing it for 63 years.
