Nice rig but gah! What is it these days with touch screens on everything!?

I see it as a necessity on a smartphone or a tablet, while held in the palm of your hand. But it is - to me anyway - a mistake magnet on a radio, especially since the display sits vertically and on a desk or other table. Promotes bad posture on the part of the operator too :).

But otherwise a nice enough rig I suppose.....

The touch screen is there for those who want it. Otherwise, a keyboard & mouse can be plugged into the radio for control.

Hi,

Has anyone tracked down the dimensions of the rig box? Perhaps I've missed it but I've searched both the website and the downloadable manual and don't seem to find it. Or a pic of the back, etc.

73,
