[Elecraft] Firmware / Programming command request

[Dick Dievendorff]

Up/Down taps to the bandswitch are problematic because users can remove
bands from the rotation.  See firmware notes on MCU 2.58 (Mapping out
selected bands).  My bandswitch doesn't take me through 60 meters, for
example.

I would like to see a command that would provide a simple direct band 
change.  

Right now the K3 'knows' the last frequency and mode used on each band, 
tap BAND UP or DOWN and the K3 returns to the last used freq and mode on 
the selected band. 

Programatically there are two ways to change bands now:
1) Issue  "FA" or "FB"  which would override the last used frequency
2) Issue a series of UP / DOWN taps to the BAND switch

I'm writing some code and would like to be able to return the K3 to it's 
initial state on each band when the application is finished.  #1 won't 
do it and #2 is slow (and noisy!).

This should be pretty low on the todo list, but I'd like to see get it 
on the list!
