/I got my XG3 yesterday and it works fine. It'll be a great addition to 
the workbench.

But there's one anomaly. The Band change buttons work backwards from 
every other piece of Elecraft gear. On my K1 and K2 Band+ takes me to 
the next higher frequency band. On the XG3, Band+ takes me to the next 
numerically higher band (lower frequency).

Maybe this is some legacy of the days when we called 160 meters "Top 
Band". Whatever, it seems strange in that no other Elecraft works that 
way. And I don't know anyone who thinks 10 meters is lower than 160 meters.

Great piece of gear, though, and the Utility makes it even more useful.
