I used to agree with that - that having "Band Buttons"
to press to change bands was the only way to go.  And
maybe 20 years ago it was - Band Buttons or Bandswitch.

And I thought that was going to be a major problem that
I would have with the K2.  But it was not a problem.
Why?         Because 90% of my band or frequency changes
come from the laptop or PC.
Type the frequency where I want to go.
Click on the DX spot.
Go Band Up or Band Down from the function keys.

Maybe it's a workaround for not having "Band Buttons",
but I don't miss not having them on the K2 and won't miss
having them on the K3.
