I know, that was a bit 'confusing' to me at first, but if you think of
it as up or down the row of band LEDs, it is easier to deal with.

This was a subject of debate among the engineering staff. We tried it both ways
during field testing and settled on the present behavior. After you've had time
to bond with your XG3, you will come to appreciate the subtle wisdom in this
decision. Or not :)

Interesting, I push the wrong button first *every* time :-)
Despite that, I have to say that it is by far and away the most useful bit

In over 50 yrs of ham radio, I've never heard ANYONE on a lower band say they
are going down to 10 meters, or 6
I spent a couple of hours with it on the bench this afternoon and I
gravitated towards your suggestion, Don. Once that became a habit, I
quit hitting the wrong button every time.
It's already a great addition to the shack and the workbench.

Probably because I design Human Interfaces (hardware and software) for a
