Don,
Do you really want band *stacking* memories? A stacking memory is
first-in, last out, so you have to drill down through the stack to get
the one you want. That seems likea much worse situation than the normal
band up/down switch which is a double ended stack.
If you are referring to something different, then please do not call it
a stack - the definition of a memory stack has been quite clear since
the first days of microprocessors.

I brought up the band changing issue early on with the
guys, not because I just had to have it, but because
it seemed that every transceiver these days that's big
enough to have them, does.
The thing that I find disconcerting is that even
though many of the buttons on the K3 are fully
occupied with multiple TAP and HOLD functions, there
are (5) that I will never ever use in their TAP -or-
HOLD capacity - those being M1, M2, M3, M4, and REC.
These could clearly be drafted into service as band
stacking registers (on first press), yet they just
stay there hogging up space on my front panel.
I proposed a CONFIG option that would allow the
MESSAGE keys to be used either as DVK on first press
as originally fitted, but also could be used as
bandstack keys if the user preferred that as a first
press function over the DVK.
A minimum of 5 band stack keys are waiting there for
use, 10 if you include HOLD.
