Don,

Respectfully, this isn't one button per band.   It is two.

Also tapping M>V isn't foolproof because this button has two functions. Tap too long and you don't get M>V.

Chris,

My K3 is set up with a button for each band (except for 60 meters).

Check out the manual for "Quick Memories" (Under Memory Controls) Which use the first 10 memory slots. I tap M>V and then tap one of the 10 keypad buttons to go to the last used frequency, mode, etc. on the band related to that memory. You can arrange the key number/band correlation in any manner you so desire.

In addition, I set up the M1 thru M4 buttons to navigate to my favorite spot in each band. I use M1 for CW, M2 for SSB and M3 for data modes. I leave M4 blank, but I can quickly add it to remember a frequency, mode, etc. within the band if I think I may want to return to it after tuning away.

For 60 meters, I have 5 memories set for channel hopping, and normally when I tap the M>V button, that sequence of 5 channels comes up, and tapping M>V again puts me on 60 meters with channel hopping active, so I can change from one channel to another with the VFO knob. See Channel Hopping in the manual.

So I do have band buttons on my K3. Only rarely do I use the BAND up/dn buttons.
