[Elecraft] K3 Beta firmware rev. 2.58: FASTER BAND SWITCHING; BAND MAPPING

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Drew:

I sometimes take my K3 for a visit to a neighboring SW band.

When I'm finished SWLing, I just press [A/B] to swap the (still-in-ham-band)
VFO B freq with VFO A and then press [A>B] to reset VFO A back to ham
band as well.

Two buttons, no problems.

73,

Tom   N0SS
