[Elecraft] K3 Band switch

HI Brian,

None.

We're addressing two different issues. I'm responding to the original 
statement about achieving 1 MHz steps as in general coverage. For 
example, my Icom 765 has UP and DOWN buttons that step up and down by 1 
MHz from the frequency being displayed. Hence UP from 7.050 MHz brings 
you to 8.050 MHz, not 8.000 MHz. If you happen to land within a ham 
band, so be it.

> What is really needed is one button press to get to the band you want.

Agreed. Direct band selection is a must-have feature. I and many others 
requested this item way back when the discussions about what features an 
"improved" K2 should have first began.

Your concept of "operating position" is radically different from mine! I 
usually sit in a chair facing my radio.

Cheers,
