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

[Don Rasmussen]

Hey Don (FPR type),

I've been a programmer since 1980 - quite familiar
with the stack. But you're right, to me a single
button band set to a tunable memory would be the major
advantage. 

Make it a 2X "stack" to access two tunable memories
would be icing on the cake. I'd use high end of the
band with one press, low end with the next press. It
does matter that the two presses are made to the same
button, seems easier than finding and pressing two
separate keys. 

IMO 3X stacking becomes cumbersome. 4X - forget it. 

Everyone has their own look, YMMV, etc. ;-)

Nobody should confuse my comments to be negative, I
truly love this radio.

Don,

Do you really want band *stacking* memories?  A
stacking memory is 
first-in, last out, so you have to drill down through
the stack to get 
the one you want.  That seems likea much worse
situation than the normal 
band up/down switch which is a double ended stack.

If you are referring to something different, then
please do not call it 
a stack - the definition of a memory stack has been
quite clear since 
the first days of microprocessors.
