[Elecraft] (K3) Saving and Recalling M1-M4 per-band quick memories

[Brett Howard]

Ok not sure if I am understanding this wrong or not...  But I've
configured my M1-M4 as follows:

M1 = 14.0 - 14.15 - CW mode - width 350Hz
M2 = 14.15 - 14.35 - SSB mode - width 1.5K w/ a shift of .95
M3 = 14.03 - 0.000 - Data Mode (FSK D) - width 500Hz Dual PB
M4 = 14.03 - 14.06 - Data Mode (PSK D) - width 1.5Khz

I was then able to recall these just fine...  However as soon as I
tapped HI/WIDTH twice to view the width it would then update the
passband icon and  show the BW to be 500Hz.  Then subsequent
recallings of M4 recall the memory with a 500Hz BW.  Does seem like
something is slightly amiss there...
