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

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Seems too complicated.  My general coverage module is in the main RX 
and I tune with VFO A.  VFO B always has a return frequency and a 
simple A/B and then A>B sorts things out.

It does it for me.

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
