I don't have a K3 and I will not order one until it is a
stable product and on-the-shelf for immediate delivery.
My homebrew 10 MHz CW transceiver, EA12, IC-735 and K2 are
working fine.

Good Evening,
Today I rode with NM7N to Seaside, Oregon for our local hamfest. I got to
see Lisa, which is always nice, and Greg, AB7R, at the Elecraft booth. They

I have two rigs in my shack, a TS-850 with up and down
buttons and a FT-900 with 12 buttons. I prefer the
TS-850 method because it is easier to punch the button
a number of times than to read the tiny label and
select the correct button on the FT-900. I hope that

Actually, 6M is only one press away from 160. BAND DOWN.

I'm glad it wasn't me or any of the programs that I use.
Apparently the default I or II setups do not tie the filter with
the mode or it's just not using the default setup that you
have saved in the K3 when you use external control.

Thank you for your excellent advice (as always).
I am aware of the other methods of jumping to the ham bands, i.e. direct
frequency entry and setting up memory pushbuttons. I merely wanted to know
what I could do about the band switch itself, and you gave me a satisfactory
answer to my qu

That sounds like a ring, or circular queue, in CS terms. I'm another who

That behavior will be corrected, I know it is on the list. I recall
that there has been discussion about just where inside the ham band the
band button will place the K3 - i.e. if you tune out of the band at the

The biggest problem with all of this is that different manufacturers

More information:
I just downloaded DX4WIN demo. It does the same thing -
K3 on 14.025, CW, 700 Hz.
Click on a spot for 28280. Radio goes to 28280, Mode

I'm not sure how many use Logger32, but when I am chasing
DX spots and change band and / or mode, the filters do not go
to the default settings. The same thing happens if I type in a

to use by the frequency.

Question for the list:
On my K3 (SN 820) I have noticed that if I tune to frequencies between the ham
bands (e.g. WWV frequencies), these frequencies then show up when I step the
band switch up and down. Is there a way to delete this out-of-the-ham-band
clutter from the band switch's operation?
You must turn Tech Mode ON to see the temp readings.

That sounds like the best option so far Stewart, allow us to mark a
