[Elecraft] RE: Band Button

[Mike Cox]

I rather miss sliding the honeycomb wound coils over the wooden dowels 
and landing the leads in Fahnestock clips followed by plugging in a new 
crystal to change bands. It was made more interesting by forgetting to 
turn off the HV but was a great way to wake up in the morning.

By the way (while robbing threads) why does the K3 use a threaded post 
and knurled nut to fasten the ground wire when it's obvious that a 
Fahnestock clip could do the same job much quicker without even using a 
thumb? :-)
