Well stated....So....Let's go back to the rotary bandswitch. It was faster
to change bands than bumping this button half dozen times.
Nowadays a lot of hams have amplifiers, tuners and rotary beams that follow
the bandswitching. Imagine what happens to all those relays and motors when
quickly scrolling through each band.

Craig,
I am not certain why you believe the current bandswitching method is
confusing - unless you are trying to follow the several suggestions for
changing the band selection.
I find the BAND up/down switch similar to the old rotary bandswitches.
You go one way (usually clockwise) to go to a higher band and the other
way to go to a lower band. And you had to do it one switch detent at a
time, there was no hopping from one band direct to another unless they
were adjacent.
One can easily count finger taps on the band button just as easily as
counting rotary switch detent positions - one just has to remember how
many bands apart the present one is from the desired one.
Just my opinion.
