[Elecraft] Band button

[Don Wilhelm]

Your lexicon must be quite different than mine.  In my 54 years of 
association with ham radio, we have had Amateur "Bands".  Why would one 
want to label the device that changes between these bands as a 
"frequency" switch?  The VFO changes frequency, the band switch changes 
bands.

You are free to re-label yours -- just don't do the same to mine.
