[Elecraft] Big Box K-3

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Correction ... "M>V hold M1-M4" are not available for per band
memories.

However, you can program M1-M4 for your bandwidth (selectivity)
macros and still use V>M M1-M4/M>V M1-M4 for the per band memories.
There is no need to give up the four selectivity settings - but
you can also store selectivity configurations using Norm 1/Norm 2
in each "filter" bank (I/II).

73,
