[Elecraft] K3 Band changing...Devils Advocate...

[Dave KQ3T]

I'm starting to think that if, historically, all rigs had come with 
Band+ and Band- buttons, plus dedicated GoToBandXY buttons, we'd be 
seeing posts asking for a knob connected by a shaft to a multi-gang 
rotary switch, hooked to a big air-wound coil with multiple taps.

I'm confident the Elecraft guys are prioritizing their efforts, and 
putting "Fifty ways to change bands" at the nether end of the list.

73,
