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.
