[Elecraft] K3 Band switch

[Robert Tellefsen]

I would suggest a 1 MHz step, along the lines used in
the old Collins 51J series of receivers.  They tuned
1 MHz segments, so had to step up to the next 1 MHz
segment.
A 1 MHz step would touch every hamband directly,
while 5 MHz would miss all of them.

This idea sounds appealing to me, Drew.   A lot less to remember than
when
using memory access, etc.  I get the feeling that Elecraft is
rethinking the
whole bandswitching matter, and rightfully so.  To me, at least, the
present
situation is rather confusing.  I hope they will consider your idea.
