John,
If you assign the 'Quick Memories' to the bands as suggested in the
manual (and per Windy's solution on the reflector), then you have
exactly the same function as your TS-930 provides. In addition, the
K3's band up/down buttons will take you to the last used frequency on
any band rather than to the fixed frequency you have programmed into the
quick memories.
The only 'catch' is that the buttons are labeled '1' thru '9', so you
have to remember which band corresponds to which button - the
assignments are your choice.

I haven't used the K3 receiver enough to really comment, but I like the way
the TS-930 works (with the PIEXX board installed). There are 99 memories
available which are accessed via the RIT knob (similar to the K3 and the VFO
B knob). In addition, there are 9 individual band buttons on the front
panel that are assignable to any frequency in that band. So, for example, I
can be listening to WBCQ on 7415 and then press the "80" button to move to
3530 (the frequency that I have programmed for 80 meters). The
direct-frequency-entry capability of the K3 is roughly the same thing with a
few more button pushes. The 930 also has "up" and "down" buttons that allow
scrolling through the spectrum in 500kHz steps.
