[Elecraft] K3 band buttons

[Julius Fazekas]

Hi Doug,

Thanks for the contest Qs! Always nice to pick up the EI multiplier.

As to the band button discussion, depending on your logging software, band and mode switching is easily accomplished by typing in where you want to go in N1MM. I rarely use the band or mode switches on my K3 when playing.

It took me a while to "discover" this method, and now I'm not sure how I lived without it ;o)

I believe that you can even pick how the software determines mode in the setup panel. It's a breeze to move between CW and SSB. Adding RTTY is a bit more complicated as you need to open the digital interface.

So far I'm just SO1R and there's enough going on there that adding another monitor look like a useful option, if not another computer!

It's easy enough to get the contest desk cluttered pretty quickly...

C'ya in CQ WPX CW I hope... Maunder Minimum or not ;o)

73,
