Don,

One other point we may not have covered in the FAQ. Of the 100 
general-purpose memories (which doesn't include the M1..M4 per-band 
memories), memories 1-9 can be accessed with a shortcut method: Just 
tap M->V, then 1-9 on the keypad. I'd recommend using these to get to 
your 9 favorite bands (or frequencies) if you don't want to use the 
BAND UP/DN switches or enter the MHz value using FREQ ENT.

Of course once you're on the desired band, you can then use M->V with 
M1..M4 to get to four additional favorite frequencies/modes on each 
band. Every memory stores both VFOs, filter presets, etc.

The reason we didn't provide individual band-stacking switches is that 
the K3, unlike other rigs in this class, is not big enough to have its 
own zip code. We used the available space for buttons assigned to often 
used functions like preamp, attenuator, AGC, NR, NB, notch, etc. We 
think it's a good tradeoff.
