I had suggested that the UP/DOWN buttons be made to operate on a user-selectable contiguous range of memories, much like the Channel Hopping scan function; but instead of an automatic scan the user would be able to step through them with UP/DOWN. That way one could program one's own band sequence: WARC, non-WARC, CW, SSB, etc. or skip bands for which you have no antenna. You could also reverse the order as one guy wanted (i.e., UP = longer wavelength, not higher freq). Also, you could program your SWL bands, which currently do not play well with BAND UP/DOWN..
Of course, I have no idea how feasible it would be to implement this. But on the surface it seems like it would be a neat feature. The BAND UP/DOWN control is not necessary at all because the K3 has a number of convenient memory access functions with which you can get around. The way it is, UP/DOWN just seems a little too restrictive to be of much use at all. 73, Drew AF2Z On Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:03:30 +0200, Lexa, ok1dst wrote: >Maybe we can talk about BAND ENABLE config option which can disable >some band(-s) from band UP/DOWN selection for example WARC bands in >time on some WW Contest or all HF bands during transverter mode or >some personal preferencies as 160 - 80 - 30m fast switching only etc. >Coming back to "enable" status for some band can be done via direct >frq entry and then BAND ENABLE in config. >This enable/disable idea is only about band UP/DOWN button behavior >nothing about mode or tuning/freq input/computer control .... > >just idea > >73! >Lexa, ok1dst >K3/10 #727 > > > _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
