[Elecraft] K3 Band Changing

[Brian Alsop]

Heaven forbid.  The "bandswitch" belongs on the radio.

I waiting for the day the Elecraft decides to drill a hole an the front 
panel and add a real bandswitch. 

I'm a bit dismayed by all the extra "dongles"  I will now have to 
connect to interface the K3 to existing equipment-- e.g. an external 
"box" just to add pull up resistors for the band data and to manage the 
15 pin DE connector stuff.

In other words,  NO OCTOPUS please.
