[Elecraft] David Cole...756ProIII vs K3

[Martin Sole (HS0ZED)]

If you can remember to remember, hah! Then the K3 has a "sort of" quad 
band stack register. You can program the M1 to M4 keys with a set of 
different frequencies and recall them to get to whichever band segment 
you want. They are not true band stack in the sense of remembering where 
a recalled band stack register was last left they only remember their 
programmed frequencies but it can aid jumping around a band. They also 
remember mode and I think other settings. What's more they are band 
sensitive so you can have a set of four band memories in M1 to M4 for 
each band.

Now with programming the keypad as a band change switch using M>VFO you 
can "almost" implement single key band change and stack switch. Okay so 
it's 2 keys for a band change and 2 other keys for a stack switch, but 
better than nothing, sometimes.
