Guys . . .
This is much ado about nothing. Just LEARN how the K3 does memory
storage and retrieval and it will become second-nature to you.
During the first week or two following assembly I overwrote some
memories a time or two myself . . . until I trained myself not to. In
the nine months since, I have not overwritten anything.
As has been said for a full year now, the K3 is a complicated piece of
gear. At least initially. A complicated radio requires understanding
and effort on the owner's part. If you wish not to exert the required
effort (no shame in that), there are several good entry-level rigs out
there by competent manufacturers, both foreign and domestic. But
there is no reason to demand reinvention of the front panel and
associated circuitry merely because you find certain features awkward
at first.
With respect Kent, (and I know your email was not aimed at me) I did not
ask for any such reinvention of the front panel. I simply stated that
it is easy (and frustrating) to overwrite memories. I am also not
afraid of exerting myself to learn the radio. My point is that it
should not be possible to 'accidentally' overwrite a memory. I do not
need multiple stacking thingummies or anything like that, I simply want
to be able to put memories in there and not be able to overwrite them by
not concentrating enough. During a contest or some other frantic time,
my brain does not always cover every eventuality. Come to think of it,
it is not that much good at other times :)
As an Elecraft lover for over 6 years I have no wish to use another
radio. I simply wish to be able to use my K3 as easily as possible and
as it is basically firmware driven, I see no problem in wishing the
radio to cover my humanity. If nobody asked for functionality or
reported issues, the K3 would not be where it is today.
