Are the controls on today's rigs too small and too closely packed together?

How about if we had the same controls, and the same density of component
electronics
but spread out over a front panel, say, 1 ft wide and 8 inches high?

Wouldn't that be easier to deal with?

The ergonomics of the TS-480 are superb for a small mobile radio a lot
of thought obviously went into its design. The ergonomics of the K3 with
a bigger panel are a disaster.. bloody awful. Size isn't everything ;-)

My main radios don't have knobs and I don't miss them at all, it is much
more intuitive and handier in todays modern shack to have everything on
screen, IMHO of course.
