[Elecraft] K3 More Bandmap gab

[Steve Ellington]

I like to surf the SW bands on occasion and as we know, if you tune out of a 
ham band and change bands you screw up the band sequence. Well I had this 
brilliant idea....Since I never operate 60 meters I would just designate 
that as my SW band mode and not mess up my usual ham band sequence. But 
nooooo. I can go to 60 meters, punch in 9.5 mHz then change bands with the 
BAND button and find out I've lost 30 meters....Yes 30 meters is now 9.5 mHz 
and 60 meters is still there.

I guess the only way to do this and not get confused is to fiddle with 
memories or remember to tune back within whatever ham band you happened to 
screw up before changing bands.

I happen to have a little IC-7000. It has a similar BAND up/down button on 
the front panel. If I tune out of a ham band and change bands, it still 
remembers all the ham bands PLUS it comes back to my SWL band as I scroll 
through the bands again. Cool. The microphone has a band button for each 
band and one of them is labeled GEN for general coverage.

I'm just wondering if there would be some easy firmware change that would 
help with this?
