[Elecraft] How Can Memory access only VFO A?

You want to return to the bottom edge of the band, right? 
Just right click on the bandmap in question, no matter how
zoomed in it is and select "Go To Bottom of Band" and youre
there!

Its smart enough to know if youre in a phone or CW contest
what the bottom of the band actually *IS*, too...

Or, if the frequency is truly "left on the sub receiver",
and here I assume its on VFO B, then simply tap (NOT Press
and hold, in that case, you activate B-SET) the <a/b> key to
swap the frequencies in each VFO.  

That's the way it worked on my old TS850 and works on my
current TS570D, too.

Since you're using N1MM,  type the desired frequency into
the call entry logging
window and press enter.

< In CQWW CW it was common to find a pileup that was a big
mess, or the DX 
at the bottom of it was hard to ID for some reason.  Time to
move on and 
return later.  The frequency is left on the SUB receiver
while tuning 
the MAIN.  Eventually I want to return to the bottom edge of
the band 
without spinning the dial, so I need a memory to access only
the MAIN 
VFO so as not to lose that other frequency.  This should be
possible, 
but I can't figure out how to do it.  Can someone explain
how this is 
done like with other radios?

I realize something short can be put into the bandmap for a
later 
return, but if it's in a zoomed in mode the return is too
cumbersome.  
Not a good option.
