[Elecraft] KAT500 frequency memories question

[Jack Brindle]

Rick;

While I agree that it is pretty much critical to have the device name in the subject line, it would be a nightmare for the Elecraft support / development folks to follow multiple email lists. This is the reason that just a few lists were set up (I believe just one until the K4 came out). 

There is a lot of overlap between the various devices, so it is good to list each involved.

It is quite understandable for users to have set up external email lists for the devices, but don’t expect us to know about them, which explains my surprise (and delight) when I discovered the iogroups KPA500 list.
Learning things from other users is always good and mostly enjoyable!

73,
Jack, W6FB

By limiting to the specific groups of interest I find I can manage it better and when it gets too noisy on a topic, I can drop out of that thread (if the list is on groups.io, most of mine are).  Thankfully the lists don't 'blow up' often so the daily average is under 100 most times.
