How many of you have suffered for years with the key controls -
RIT, AF Gain, IF Shift etc. - on the right hand side of
a radio that you place to your left and operate with your
left hand?  I think all we right-handers do that so we
can send/write with our right hands, so I have always
considered the typical panel layouts backward.  I guess
this will become less important now that we all use
keyboards.  Maybe I can finally move the radio over
to the right and retrain my hands.
