>"The front panel ergonomics on the K3 is a nightmare compared to the Omni
6+, which has perhaps the best front panel EVER. FWIW, I've owned them
both for many years."
In eight years of using a K3, I still cannot get the band and mode pushbutton
sequence correct. 8/10 times I push up when I want to go down and vice-versa.
The K3 panel really needed dedicated band and mode buttons. Also, when a 2nd
receiver isn't installed in a K3 and when operating SPLIT, the REV button is
located way too far away from the tuning knob. Compare that simple function
with the Omni Six or most JA rigs. IMHO, Icom has designed some of the most
usable panel layouts in their recent product line.
