[Elecraft] K3 - N1MM & keyboard

[David Gilbert]

I don't understand ... why do you need to keep using the K3 memories?  
N1MM has all the easy-to-program memories you need via the keyboard 
function keys, and if you used a key mapper like AutoHotKey you could 
add dozens more.   It doesn't make any sense to me to use the keyboard 
just to trigger the K3 memories.  What am I missing?
