[Elecraft] K3 Channel Changing

[F H Plomp]

Gary,

The point you are making has been mentioned in the past. It is not a 
channel selection as mentioned by Brett, but you are referring to the 
possibility to operate the K3 in either a VFO or Memory mode. This 
can be done in other radios. The K3 is always in the VFO mode and by 
a number of keystrokes we can put the VFO in a starting point. When a 
radio has a memory mode, you can program the memories in a random 
order, to your liking, and select them by pushing the Up/Down buttons 
or e.g. the VFO B knob. Subsequently the VFO A knob works as 
required.

Gary, I believe that this is what you, I,  and others want.  
Therefore our question to Elecraft if this change can be made in a 
subsequent  firmware, or is it hardware limited

I wonder if there is (or will be in the future) a way to store 
frequencies (on all bands) into memory and then be able to go to VM 
mode and use either the VFO A or B to rotate through all o the 
memories?

I have owned a few radios that had this feature and it would be handy 
for my operating conditions.

I have used the M1-M4 and the Band switching via the keypad, but find 
this cumbersome and time consuming as well as restrictive.

If this has been addressed previously then apology is given but I 
don't have time to read all the traffic on the reflector.

This capability is already in place.  You need to proceed the name of 
the memory with a * and they need to be in sequential memory 
locations in order to pull it off but once you recall one you can 
then tune through the memories with the VFO A knob.  This is 
especially handy for the channelized US 60Meter band.
