[Elecraft] K3 band stacking suggestion

[Don Wilhelm]

David,

The first paragraph on page 16 of the manual has the information.  The 
fact that M>V or V>M has to be tapped first differentiates this VFO 
memory use from the other functions (CW memories or DVR messages, or 
programmable function buttons).

You cannot assign a label to these 4 memory buttons, so ignore that part 
of the "how to set/retrieve the memories" for this use of the M1-4 buttons.

All in all, there are 144 memories available on the K3.  The normal 100 
memories plus 4 for each of the11 bands.  I guess (but don't know) if 
the transverter bands are used the total number of memories expand by 4 
for each transverter band.  So if the K3 is loaded with all 9 
transverter bands, the total number of memories comes to 180, each 
containing both A and B VFO frequencies, modes, filter settings, etc.  
Use of the A/B button in conjunction with these memories adds a lot of 
utility for hopping around a band, and the 10 Quick Memories enable band 
to band hopping with ease.  The Quick Memories will go back to the last 
used frequency on a band, but the M1-4 memories will restore to whatever 
was last stored in them.

73,
