[Elecraft] [KX3] Lists of memories

[Matt Zilmer]

For the general purpose memories, I allocate five to each band:

CW: around the top of the Extra segment for VFO A, and
VFO B on the CW QRP watering hole for the band.

Data A: at PSK31 and JT65 frequency (VFO A / B).

SSB: near the lower edge of the segment (VFO A).
SSB: on the QRP frequency (VFO B).

Leave the fifth open or set it to a net frequency.

This doesn't work on all bands.  For example 30m doesn't offer SSB
operation.  Tailor the schema to suit the band (lots of CW and Data A
on 30m).  For 60m, each memory is set to the SSB suppressed carrier
freq (VFO A), and VFO B is set to the CW center frequency.

This layout uses up 75 to 80 memories.  I used a lot of the rest for
MARS and SWL frequencies, WWV and CHU.

Reserve five memories for test frequencies (49.38 MHz for example).

The per-band quick memories:  I use them as scratchpad / holding
registers like a poor man's band stack.  You could use these in a
similar manner to the above, but the recall key sequence is much
faster (RCL then 1 through 4).
