Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear about that.  For example, front panel buttons
often have 3 functions depending on whether you press, double press, or
press and hold.  Also the relatively small LCD means that you don't have
full time display of many important settings and you have to press a button
or rotate a knob to display that current setting.  This is an issue for
some hams but not others.
