Don,
I normally just tap BAND UP/DN, since I typically operate on just a few
closely spaced bands during the day, and a different set of closely
spaced bands at night. To me (as the UI designer), the added
convenience of per-band switches didn't seem a worthy complication of
the already multi-function keypad array. (So it's not a space issue --
it's a UI complexity issue.)
As Rick mentioned, you can also get quickly to a band of interest by
tapping M->V followed by 0..9, if you've stored a memory from each band
you use in these.
But let me toss out an idea. These first 10 memories *could* store
exactly the same thing as the normal band memories (those you get to by
tapping BAND UP/DN), but only for 10 bands (say 160-10 m). This
behavior could be specified using a future menu entry. It would give
you two-tap, per-band recall over the entire range.
I wouldn't ever assign this functionality to M1..M4, which are intended
to be fixed, per-band starting points for each mode, as Rick explained.
The field testers, as well as myself and the engineering staff, have
been using this scheme for weeks, and speaking strictly for me, we
really like it :)
