[Elecraft] K3: band enable/disable option ?

[Alexandr Kobranov]

Ok Arie, most such "ideas" are based on personal experience and feeling.
For example when I am running K3 at i/f for 10GHz during contest using 
ANT output for driving of transverter chain with 100mW out, I am 
little bit afraid when somebody else from our club is running this 
setup not to swith to some HF band by mistake where - if not set to 
0,1W for all bands before -  more power up to 12W (yes, I have 10W 
only version...) can go to ANT and which is able to destroy 
transverter TX input driven by 100mW.
(Sometimes there is also unwanted band-switching during VOX or QSK 
mode changing - yes it is mistake of operator, but...)
So as you can simply see, in my case there is this reason to "disable" 
all others bands from UP/DOWN swithing to in this specific setup.
Maybe I am alone, maybe not :-)

73!
