Don't you need the DVR to make that happen?

I miss dedicated band buttons even though my main rig has been a K2 for

well though.
But (you knew this was coming), the very thing that makes the "Quick
Memory" function handy can also be its downfall. Try as I might to be
careful, I continue to clobber the memory by pressing V>M in error.
Because the 00 - 09 locations are "Quick Memories" they are overwritten
immediately when the numeric keypad entry is pressed.
I just discovered a new way to abuse the K3 using this system. I
programmed
my Quick Memories to take me to frequencies in the CW part of each band,
then M1 - M4 to take me to different parts of the band.
So after pressing M>V, 5 to take me to 15m (CW) I pressed M>V, M3 to go to
a
different part of the band. Only either I didn't press M>V hard enough so
it
didn't register, or I had a senior moment and didn't press it at all, so I
transmitted the programmed contents of memory 3 at 100W into an untuned
antenna.
If you use the message memories then there is a risk of accidentally
transmitting their contents if you are using the same buttons as per-band
memories as well.
