[Elecraft] K3 is really a computer radio

[Barry Simpson]

I have quintuple band stacking memories. I use the first ten memories
programmed in strict band order (you soon get used to which band is which
button) at 1kHz up from the band edge. I then have the four M1 to M4 buttons
programmed at four frequencies within each band, two CW and two SSB.

This gives me the ability to do very rapid band and frequency/mode within
band changes. Admittedly it takes two button pushes each time but I don't
really think that is much of an imposition.

There are band stacking memories and you can use the first 10 memories as
quick access memories (and if you're smart) band buttons.  Its all there you
just have to learn to use it.

As a proud appliance operator, I want 

ease of use and punching in 1421400 plus

mode and split and then entering the B

split freq directly is

just too much to ask of little me.

Sure, u can use the rig from the 

existing front panel, but my point, 

sweat or no sweat, is that the thing

is hard to use that way.

Oh, for band stacking registers and

band buttons.

Charles must have been pretty tired at 1:17 AM EDT.  I believe he lives in
Texas.  Perhaps perspiration from a long neck trickled into his eyes and
made vision difficult, and he forgot about direct frequency entry.
