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

Dave,
I believe what is really wanted is "random access" band buttons - in
other words a single button press for each band. For the life of me, I
cannot figure out how this ever has been construed in ham circles to use
the term "band stacking memories" - perhaps someone can tell me how

But I'll not malign the K3 for missing what was on the

Great Alan!
One of the wonderful things about the phasing exciters was that the
bandwidth was not arbitrarily limited by a filter. It was limited *only* by
the audio bandpass of the speech amps. Now, one could *not* do what today is
called real ESSB with it because the phasing accuracy failed if
Many (many, many) years ago my station consisted of a Heathkit Apache
TX1 transmitter, Mohawk RX-1 receiver, and SB-10 SSB adapter. I figured
that I had to switch or adjust a minimum of ---12--- controls to change
bands. If I needed to change between LSB and USB, add two more for a
total of 14.
We are indeed spoiled. If Elecraft could just fix the disappearing of ham
bands on the BAND button when tuning to a non-ham-band frequency, I would be
happy as punch. Not all radios have a dedicated button for each band (at
least 11), which is really a waste of panel space. I have been happy
