[Elecraft] P3 Ubdate

[Wes (N7WS)]

Mea Culpa.  Although I have the latest (I think) pdf K3 manual, some of my 
research used the printed (and now out-of-date) manual that came with my radio.  
I now understand the difference between "NOR" and "Band-Sel".

However, that doesn't negate all of my concerns.  The manual states for example, 
that antenna selection is remembered.  Perhaps that applies to units with the 
built-in tuner, but it sure doesn't remember the state of the RX antenna selection.

Other parameters that I believe should be memorized and recalled are ATT, PRE, 
LOCK, FIL and probably others.  In other words I would like to be able to 
recover to a previously recorded state.

Now, let's say I use my "Split" macro that locks VFO A, and sets VFO B up 1 KHz 
and goes into Split mode, while there I fiddle with the Filter selection.  If in 
M1, Split is off, VFO A = X, VFO B = Y, a FIL is selected and normalized and 
Lock is off I would like to get this all back by a press of M>V and M1.  As it 
stands, the VFOs will revert okay but will still be locked and the filter will 
be what ever it was before.

Maybe this is the best that can be expected but I hope not.

If I use the Memory Editor software to set frequencies and modes in the memories, the best that can be said is that you will get the band changed.  The frequencies will be whatever they were the last time you were on that band.
