I agree. My newest rig is a yeasu Ft-950. The one thing in a knob the I wish
was on a knob is the RF power... Drives me crazy!
If only tentec had thus sale when I was looking for a new rig I would have a
new TenTec rater the older one ;-).

My neighbor has one in his pickup. I tried using it and found that I had
to go to menus to do simple things that were operational. I also had an
FT100D. Same problem.
To me, menus are fine if you only use them for setups -- which filters
are installed, is the mic plugged in the front or the back, does it need
bias, stuff like that. The FT1000MP was like that, and it was a good
rig to operate. Ditto for the K3 and KX3. I had an IC746 that I used on
6M and 2M when I lived in Chicago. Most of what you need to operate is
on knobs and switches, but there's still a lot of stuff that requires
menus, and those functions were a PITA. Likewise for a lot of VHF FM rigs.
