I think it's all a matter of what you're used to.
I typically operate with the TS-930 right in front of me,
the keyboard in front of the radio, the monitor on top of
the radio, and the KW to one side or the other. I prefer
the 101-key keyboard and I lay my arms across it when I
am twiddling with the radio. I simply reach back with a
finger or thumb to press one of the function keys across
to top of the 101-key to call CQ or whatever. This was
the HC8N setup during CQWW.
At TI1C I used a 386 notebook machine, so the keyboard and
screen were to the right of the radio. I didn't like this
as much -- seems like I was moving my hands a lot -- but I
think it's because I am used to the other. However, I would
rather suffer a this than lug down a desktop 386, keyboard
and a monitor (like I did in HC8).
