[Elecraft] K4 Band Stacking Registers

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Dave,

Tapping BAND brings up a set of band-stacking switches on-screen, one for each band (including WARC bands), plus one for general coverage, one for transverters, and one for most-recently-used frequency memories. 

The advantage of doing this on the LCD rather than with hard switches is that we can provide different arrangements depending on the operator's needs. For example, the op may want more transverter controls, may not use the WARC bands during contesting, or might prefer to dedicate one or more switches to specific frequencies. If a new band is allocated in the future -- perhaps limited to a subset of countries -- we'll be able to add it with a software update.

Band-stacking depth will be adjustable.

73,
Wayne
