[Elecraft] K3 add on kit idea

[Wes Stewart]

What would also be nice is to have an option to map memories 0-9 to the KIO Band Outputs.

This would allow for instance, selecting remote antenna matching networks within "the same band."  Seventy-five and 80-meters leaps to mind.  Switching directional antennas might be another possibility.
