[Elecraft] K3 Band switch

[Ron Durie]

I have programmed the keypad as band switches and programmed M1-M4 on each
band.  
I have also programmed frequencies into my memory locations.  This works
well but takes some getting used to.  

The keypad and keys around it are now the most "Busy" area on my front
panel.  

I don't know what to think about The Band Switch nor how to use it. 
 
Maybe I should think of it not as a Band Switch but as a frequency Stacking
register.  
Any frequency can be put into any stacked position.  
Maybe I should put my commercial broadcast and short wave frequencies in
these stacks. 
This would free up more memory locations. 

I am sure Elecraft is re-thinking the total frequency management scheme to
see if it can be made more intuitive for us all.  

I really like my K3.  It is neat to have the flexibility that downloaded
firmware provides.
