[Elecraft] K3 band switch clutter

[Don Wilhelm]

John,

That behavior will be corrected, I know it is on the list.  I recall 
that there has been discussion about just where inside the ham band the 
band button will place the K3 - i.e. if you tune out of the band at the 
bottom end, return to the lowest frequency in the band?  if you tune out 
the top of the ham band, then do you return to the top of the band?  Or 
should it return someplace else - everyone will of course have their 
favorite answer on this one.

Until it is settled and is coded into firmware, Direct Frequency Entry 
will get you back into the ham band. If you have set up a memory for the 
ham band in question, a tap of the M>V button will do it - both these 
solutions are easier than twisting the VFO knob until it is back in the 
ham band.
