[Elecraft] K3 Firmware Req for SWL band and Using Memories

[Steve Ellington]

Memories are too complicated and too much trouble. Seems like this band 
switching confusion has been an ongoing problem since the beginning. People, 
including me, foul up the band sequence by moving out of band then changing 
bands. Suddenly, their favorite ham band is missing.
I'm suggesting that another band, GEN, be added to the chain. If one wants 
to play SWL, just go to that band and have at it.  It would not mess up your 
band sequence nor would it mess up any other band.
My alternate suggestion was to allow the use of any particular band for this 
purpose, such as 60 meters or some other band that you never use. Right now, 
if one tries to do that it totally screws up the order and you loose a band 
that had nothing to do with the one you changed. I gave an example of this.
