[Elecraft] K3S band Change with DX4WIN

[Byron Peebles]

I wanted to add one more comment to this thread.

IN operating the front panel, moving between bands absolutely benefits 
from the current standard.
That is, when I go back to 40 meters, it takes me to the previous 
frequency and mode.  Totally right.

What I'd love to see, though, is that radio firmware not just emulate 
users pushing buttons, but understand that the software might always do 
three things together, band, frequency, mode, plus filters et al, and 
provide a fast way to do that in one command. Just a thought....
