90% of my band changes are done by direct frequency entry to drop me in the band segment I want (e.g. 7.030 or 14.250) It's not a "one button push" but it's quick, easy, puts me where I want to be without cycling through the bands using the up/down button, spinning the tuning knob unnecessarily or programming lots of memories.
Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- I don't want to depend on my computer. I don't want to have to repeatedly push an up/down button. I don't want to custom-program memories, and have to remember what's what. I want to directly go to the band I want with a dedicated keypad. I bought the K3 despite this shortcoming, so I accept it, just like I accept that, for me, the radio is a bit too physically small, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It means only that I understand that practically everything in life is a compromise. 73, Steve NN4X _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
