Dave, I use TR4W (www.tr4w.com). When unassisted, the only spots on the band map are those that I myself have put in there so band map is not really crowded. TR4W can show band map for all the bands simultaneously or one band at a time (you can change it on the fly), one mode or all modes, all spots or mults only, your CQ frequency/ It also shows you how old the spot is. Spots can be programmed to fade away at a predetermined time (very useful). All of the above works with K3 perfectly and it would be impossible to build in all the above functionality into the radio and use it. I agree that quick memories can be useful sometimes, but only when one operates the radio without computer attached.
