Interesting observations, Barry... Gives me cause to pause and ask:
What if you use a program like N4PY produces,
or HamRadioDeluxe, or some other control program
that might display that additional data - even
if you are a knob guy like Cecil K5DL, could
you use one of these programs just for what it
can DISPLAY, and then control the rig from its
front panel?
I do that with N4PY and my TT Omni VII and my
KW TS-590s -- I prefer knobs, dials,and buttons
but like the display the software provides.
Or is this distracting, having to watch the
screen to monitor or track settings, and then
operate the rig by the front panel controls?

The form factor of the K3 means a lot more space on the desk but a lot less
space on the display - no full time display of important parameters like
bandwidth, shift, power, mic gain/compression, monitor level, etc etc. You
have to push a knob to see each value. And no parameters at all are
visible about the subreceiver unless you switch the display from main to
sub. There's plenty to like about the K3 and contesters have adopted it in
droves, but the form factor doesn't work for me.
