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

[Steve Ellington]

How about a "Take me back to the ham band macro button"?
Let's pretend that we get up one morning, turn on the rig and while 
scrolling through the bands, 9.5 mHz pops up. Instead of trying to figure 
out what band this is and cranking the VFO or entering a freq. just hit PF2 
or something. I haven't bothered to study all that macro stuff but is there 
a possibility?
