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.
