K3(S) mode selection??????

The K3(S) uses a rocking pushbutton to toggle up or down through its basic modes. One also holds the down side of the mode button (ALT function) to select alternate modes. Once the basic mode of DATA is selected, yet another key is held down (AFX) to set the data mode (DATA MD) with the rotation of the VFO B knob.

Want synchronous AM mode? Push the mode button up or down until AM is displayed then press and hold the ALT button. One has to memorize this and/or have a manual or cheat sheet available. In fact, if I never read the manual, I would not even know the K3(S) has a synchronous AM mode.

In my opinion, that is about as obscure as it gets. I miss the rotary mode and band switches of my boatanchors.

Maybe it’s just me but I never seem to have problems with the mode and band selectors 
on the K3… Up arrow goes up, down arrow goes down. I only have to push ONE button to 
change modes, not a menu plus mode selection.

Keep in mind that this discussion is OPINION, not a discussion of facts. What 
others like is allowed to be different from what I like. What I like is allowed 
to be different rom what others like as well.
