No Nick - You keep your CW memory buttons - no madness
there. Simply add one setup option for those of us
that own external keyers (CMOS4 in my case) that if it
is changed from the default will allow the single
touch keys to be band switchers rather than keyer
memories - see? 

A setup called maybe M1-M4 when set to "default" and
those keys are for DVK or memory keyer just as you
enjoy it now.

Set to "BAND" and those uf us that want it get access
to the VFO's. 

I'd go one stpe further and say that the M1-M4 could
be mapped to 80m 40m 20m and 10m and a single press of
the REC button would display briefly "WARC" on the
display and then M1-M4 would be 60m 30m 17m and 12m.

But I really don't think it's about panel space, it's
about how the designers want us to use the K3...

And take away my CW memory buttons?  That's madness!

I've got more band changing methods than I can keep
track of already.
