I would like to request Elecraft consider adding a
CONFIG menu switch to protect memory entries from inadvertant overwriting.
This would effectively disable the V > M button while active. More than once
I've mistakenly hit V > M when I intended to recall a memory.
This is a mistake that I've made a lot and it's annoying. It's either
because I read Hebrew, which of course goes from right to left, or
because I'm a programmer and automatically think of putting the contents
of the thing on the right into the thing on the left!
I've suggested to Wayne that Elecraft change the buttons to read STO and
RCL or something. But in case they don't do this :-) here are some
suggestions:
1) If you make this mistake, immediately hit M > V which will cancel it
without doing anything.
2) Notice the AF REC label under V > M. REC means 'record'.
3) I did this: cut a small sticker -- I used a piece of a shiny red
bumper sticker -- to fit over the face of the V > M key. This has
completely solved the problem -- my brain only sees M > V so that's the
one it chooses. But I have V > M available immediately if I need it.
