[Elecraft] Big Box K-3

[Don Wilhelm]

Tom,

If what you want is two fixed frequencies on each band for instant 
recall, try using CONFIG: MEM 0-9 set to NOR.  Store the desired 
frequencies for each band in memory locations 0 thru 9.  Tapping M>V and 
then the button for that band will bring up the two pre-set 
frequencies.  If CONFIG: MEM 0-9 is set to BAND SEL, it will bring up 
the last used frequency on that band.
I know it is two button taps instead of one, but that is the best I can 
do with the existing K3 buttons.

The band that corresponds to each of the 0-9 buttons is user definable - 
just set the memories the way you want to correspond with the buttons.  
In fact, if you want 10 different 'spots' on 160 meters, that is 
possible too, just set them all to two frequencies on 160 with CONFIG: 
MEM 0-9 set to NOR.

I can't help with eliminating the ATT hold button.

73,
Don W3FPR
