Steve (or anyone else who knows), Please explain the convenience of "band-stacking" memories. I have never used a radio with "band-stacking" memories, so I really don't know what that means. Is it really a 'stack' (as in programming) where one can only select the item at the top of the stack? If it is something different, then the term "band-stacking" should not be used IMHO - I think it was Yaesu that first popularized the term and I have been confused ever since.
The K3 provides 4 random access memories for each band in the M1-M4 buttons, and you say you want only 3, so you may use only M1-M3 if you so choose. Yes, it does take a 2 button tap to retrieve the contents of any of the M1-M4 memories, but if band-sacking memories can only retrieve the topmost memory with any one tap, the average number of button taps required to retrieve the desired memory with a stack depth of 3 is also two taps. So please tell me that "band-stacking" is something different than a "stack" as used in programming, and I will give up my argument and go off on another tangent about the ills of mis-named functions on a radio. 73, Don W3FPR Steve Ellington wrote: > Since we can't have band stacking and memories are too much trouble, how > about designating one seldom used button of our choice to be the band > stacking button.
