The 5K one is fine, so not much point in changing it! Having an extra switch on the front doesn't bother me at all! In fact the more controls, meters and adjustmets there are on radio equipment, the more I like it, as I feel I am more in control of what is behind them. I was really dismayed to have my ship fitted with a main transmitter that only had an on off switch on it 
All the tuning was done by a tiny key pad on the receiver console. I dialled the frequency in and pressed a button, and it whirred, and clicked, and clunked for a few seconds, and when it stopped, it was all ready to go. But there always came a time when pressing the button produced nothing but silence, followed by the nightmare of getting it going again! When it comes to electronics, I only get pleasure from messing about with my Heath Robinson projects, the older the better. No doubt all my devices are flawed in some way, but it doesn't really matter!
