The K3 does not have 12 keys to dedicate the the function, so covering -all- bands may not be possible, but there are 5 DVR keys, which could be reassigned to allow 2X or 3X stacking of your 5 favorite bands. Some will ask - what's the point if PowerSDR can make up the difference?, others would suggest they'd rather leave the computer off most of the time. [Elecraft] K3 Band changing...Devils Advocate...

Hi Dave, I think the "Band Stacking Register" definition came from the way Icom implemented it on their 756PRO series of radio. This is taken from the IC-756PROIII operating manual on page 24: "The triple band stacking register provides 3 memories in one band. 3 sets of a frequency and operating mode on each band are automatically stored when used. If a band key is pushed once, the frequency and operating mode last used are called up. When the key is pushed again, another stored frequency and operating mode are called up. This function is convenient when you operate 3 operating modes on one band. For example, one register is used for a CW frequency, another for an SSB frequency and the other one for an RTTY frequency." The 756PRO series of radio has 12 dedicated "Band Keys" which allows this kind of user interface. To implement this on the K3 in hardware is simply not possible. As I mentioned in a earlier post, it has been achieved using PowerSDR & LP-PAN. When not using PowerSDR I simply enter the 1st two digits of the band I want to go to and press enter. Works for me.
