I think that this sounds like a great solution.

Hi Steve,
How about a Take me back to the ham band macro button?
Yes, that's essentially what the scheme I described with the M1-M4
buttons does. You wouldn't have to set up all 4 buttons like I did.
Here's how you could set it up with just one:
1. Go to the 160m band.
2. Set VFO A to
I wouldn't mind keeping BAND as a hamband-only control. However, in
this case it would be nice if the K3's band boundaries usng this
control did conform to the legal ham bands (i.e., 40m should end at
7.000, not 6.000 MHz). I suppose this would mean, for instance, when
you wander below 7.0 MHz,

G'day,
Seems too complicated. My general coverage module is in the main RX
and I tune with VFO A. VFO B always has a return frequency and a
simple A/B and then AB sorts things out.
It does it for me.
Regards
Wayne,
In the meantime, would it be feasible for you to add some macro
commands for manipulation of frequency memory? Then we could write
switch macros that would copy ten slots in upper frquency memory to
the 00-09 quick memory locations.
In that way a bank of SWL freqs could be copied to
Whatever happened to direct frequency entry, either via memory or punching a
few number buttons on the keys?
I seldom touch the BAND switch.

I can also get around the bands (ham and SWBC) just fine. I suppose
the BAND switch is straight forward if you know that that it divides
the K3's entire HFcoverage range into ten bands, each one having an
amateur radio allocation somewhere within:
0.5 to 3.0 MHz
3.0 to 4.8
4.8 to 6.0
6.to 9

Frankly I see no problem with the way it is currently
implemented. I find a really simple way to get back into
the desired band segment
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
let me make this an offical request for FW if it's possible.
Either:
1. Add an extra band for general coverage.
2. Or allow use of one of the bands for gen. cov. and fix it so it doesn't
screw up another band. (Hard to put in words).

I guess the only way to do this and not get confused is to fiddle with

Here's yet another solution.

M1 - Mode=CW, Freq = beginning of CW segment.
M2 - Mode=CW, Freq = end of CW segment.
M3 - Mode=USB or LSB, depending on the band, Freq = beginning of the

Joe,
I think that is a good solution (except for those who use the M1-M4
frequency memories for other purposes), because it will always take you
back to the proper ham band - The M1-M4 memories are 'per band'.
