[Elecraft] K3 ham vs general band changes

[n4lq]

Yes it's a crazy way to change bands. I think the least that could be done 
is ....Once you are through snooping around the SW bands and you hit the 
BAND button, the K3 should go back to ham bands only and not screw up the 
band order. KM5Q posted a neat way to program the keypad for band changing. 
It's almost like having a normal keypad but requires an extra button push.
Looks nice but a lot of labor to get all of that programmed. It would be 
cool if we could just send a 'memory' file to each other and load our 
radios. Maybe that can be added to the K3 Utility someday.

Here's what I'm unclear on.  If I'm on the 20 meter band and I enter
freq 9.8 MHz what happens to my band order as I cycle through them.
Have I "replaced" the 20 meter ban with 9.8 MHz.

Another way to ask the same question, if I want to go to 9.8 MHz, should
I make sure I'm on the 30 meter band BEFORE entering the frequency?

I seem to recall my K2 getting all mixed up if I was on one band and
entered a frequency for another and am wondering if the K3 is the same.

The K3 manual says the Band switch scrolls through the ham bands. But if
I enter a general coverage frequency, say 11.000, it becomes the setting
of the nearest ham band. So, when I'm scrolling, I see 7.000, 11.000,
14.000, etc. I have to re-enter 10.100 to get 30m to the right setting.
