[Elecraft] Storing frequencies and bandwidth

[Mike K2MK]

An outboard appliance containing programmable buttons would be useful. For
example, I'll push SPOT hundreds of times during a contest. A small pod that
I could position on the left side of my computer keyboard would be nice.
Bandwidth selection from the pod would be a real bonus.
