Curious, I don't find that the case at all.  I guess being used to
various radios with band and mode Up/Down switches the K3 using this
method doesn't bother me.

I'm coming to gribs with the memory system which seems to necessarily
replace the VFO A/B values with the memory information.  My prior 
experience (Yaesu rigs) keeps the memories separate from the VFOs even
though the memories are tunable once on the display.  So when I program
a memory I set VFO B to be in the other end of the band.  No biggie as
direct frequency entry is right there.

I may end up taking the felt washers from behind the VFO knobs as
they're quite noisy.  There's my nit to pick.  ;-)
