I use the BAND button without even thinking about it when I only need to go up or down one band, which is often. Along with the M>V direct band selection I would say that on average it takes me about 1.25 button pushes to switch bands, hahah... So, one-push dedicated band buttons aren't on my wish list.
However, I do think the BAND button could be made to be a lot more versatile. I'd like to have it jump among a contiguous range of slots in the programmable frequency memories (10-99). Then I could program as few or as many bands as I wanted, in whatever order I wanted, including non-ham bands. The ham-band-only boundary system is my major complaint about the BAND button/function on the K3. 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 20 Sep 2009 17:42:48 -0400, Don W3FPR wrote: >Would you settle for a 'two-touch' method for bandchanging?
