[Elecraft] K3: overwriting memories? - Try this!

[KM5Q]

Like Tony, I also found it helpful to color my V>M button, but I did  
it in a different way. It looks good, and I and find it helpful.

I stained it red with permanent ink. I took a bit of cloth and wet it  
with alcohol. Onto that I applied some red ink with a Sharpie pen,  
then rubbed it onto the button. It still shows the label on the button  
very clearly - just makes a pink wash. I liked it, so I then applied  
red around the sides of the button where it shows deeper red. I  
consider it permanent, but it's my radio and I like it.

I went a step further and put a piece of white 1/4 inch masking tape  
over the V>M key. Not pretty but it works for me. It is just enough to  
catch your eye and of course when you really need it, it can still be  
depressed. I do have an "advantage" in that with poor eyesight it is  
not easy to read and mix up the keys! My band memories are set similar  
to yours Doug. I have my most usedfrequency in VFO-A and my second  
most used frequency in VFO-B. I operate mainly SSB but monitor the  
other modes. I have not used the band up/down for 3 months.
