I agree with Don-- use some pattern-based system. To me this seems much better than a scheme which relates the numerals printed on the keys to the corresponding bands. A geometric pattern seems better.
I use vertical columns: the left hand column is 40m/80m/160m. The middle column is 10m/15m/20m. The righthand column holds the WARC bands. The "0" key holds 6-Meters. It would be nice if we could also use the remaining two keys on the keypad (SPOT and AFX) as frequency memories. As it is now they are wasted. I know there are only 10 "quick" memories; couldn't this be expanded to twelve and put these wasted keys to use. 73, Drew AF2Z On Mon, 31 Oct 2011 09:07:52 -0400, Don W3FPR wrote: >Barry, > >I believe you just have to develop some kind of "logical" system so you >remember - it only has to make sense to you. > >I have mine set so 80, 40, and 30 m are on the top 3 buttons - 1, 2, and 3. >The next row is for 20, 15, and 10. >Followed by 17, 12, and 6 m on 7, 8, and 9 >The "0" button is 160, > >I do not have 60 meters assigned to one of the buttons.
