[Elecraft] K3 band stacking suggestion

[Dave Perry]

Igor,

I agree that the band maps built into logging programs like N1MM and DX4WIN 
are helpful, and I use them alot during contests and regular logging.  But 
sometimes band maps get very crowded and they normally only allow you to 
view one band at a time.  I still think that a band stacking feature can 
provide very quick back and forth switching between different pile ups on 
different bands and modes -- and can be very useful in certain situations.
