[Elecraft] [K3] K3: Wish List--Ad a General coverage mode for SW Listening

[Joe Planisky]

I solved this problem by programming the per-band memories (M1 - M4 on  
the front panel) with frequencies and modes in each band.  M1 is CW  
mode near the low end of the CW sub-band, M2 is CW near the high end  
of the CW sub-band, M3 for the low end of the phone segment, and M4  
for the high end of the phone band.  I do this on each ham band.   
Then, after tuning around the SW bands, I just hit M>V, M1 and I'm  
back in the ham band on CW.

Not quite as easy as what you're suggesting, but it works for me.
