Yes.  The OII front panel/layout/ergonomics is fine, Mike.  It's what the 
buttons and knobs actually DO that matters more.  
Just for perspective, I've had a K3 and ProIII sitting beside my OrionII for 
over 2 years now.  The OII is still my preferred radio.

 Without any distraction or off topic replies, I want to know if the Orion III 
can use the same front panel with the same controls and features /  buttons/ 
knobs and user interface.
The screen will be different, the guts will be different, the box may be 
different, and all of this does not matter.
All I want to know is if I can use the same expensive injection mold for the 
front.  If the answer is no then we will have to use a painted front like 
certain other people use.
This is not telegraphing that an O3 is eminent, under development or any other 
speculation.  Is the O2 front panel OK or not OK. that is all I want to know.
