I'm going to start doing this now that we have the ability to clear
memory locations. I usually go to the trouble of setting something
like this up only to figure out when finished I should have done it
differently. I'll put the CW ham bands in one "bank" and SWL bands in
another. Some often used "channels" in other banks.

Another advantage of memory selection of bands is you don't have to
clack through the relays on every intermediate band. This is not so
easy to accomplish with the Band buttons on the K3 as it was on the
K2. (Hey, I like to take care of my rig; why clack the relays
unnecessarily.)
