A rapid-transit shortwave band select would be pretty easy with the existing features and firmware of the K3.....set aside a group of memory channels, say 90-99, assign a frequency or frequency pair(A/B vfo) from each shortwave band to each of the memories, label 60M-49M-31M-25M-19M-16M-tertiary bands etc, 41M if you want a SW Rx mode/filter different from your 40m usual mode, add asterisks to the memory labels and bandhopping is yours. Tune from there. For more convenience there is the serial port and the family laptop. Ham band switching stays ham band only, simple and direct.
I bandswitch by M>V 1 thru 9, from 160-10 meters, with 60 meters selected as above and in the K3 manual. VFO A is starting point in SSB segment, VFO B the CW end. Always the same start/filter/ bandwidth, no surprises from the K3's understanding of band limits. Band UP/DOWN is very handy to look quickly at another band and return same freq with only two keystrokes.
