[Elecraft] K3 band stacking suggestion

[Dave Perry]

Don,

This solution doesn't work for me since I have all M1 - M4 buttons used on 
all bands from 160 through 6 meters to allow me to quickly go to the CW , 
RTTY, and SSB portions of the bands.  I use these stored sub-band memories 
all the time.  I suppose one workaround would be to use the M1 to M4 
memories like you suggest in a contest, and then use the K3 Freq Memory 
Editor to restore the sub-band memories once the contest is over.

Still, this is not a true band stacking feature -- which should require only 
one button to store and one to recall the memories with the ability to cycle 
back and forth between the quick memories.

Dave, N4QS
