Don,
Respectfully, this isn't one button per band. It is two.
Also tapping MV isn't foolproof because this button has two functions.
Tap too long and you don't get MV.

If you review past posts regarding this subject, you'll find that it has
been discussed in great detail. Just search on K4. Many of us would
like to see a full-size, no-holds-bared Elecraft radio with the function
of the P3 built-in much like the Icom radios and the new Kenwood
TS-990. When
You can adjust the frequency of the APF peak with the SHIFT encoder. You
can also tap the FINE button to get a slower tuning rate when you are
using the APF. This makes it a bit easier.
In some conditions the APF makes the difference between being able to
copy a station and not. Its
Chris,
My K3 is set up with a button for each band (except for 60 meters).
Check out the manual for Quick Memories (Under Memory Controls) Which
use the first 10 memory slots.
I tap MV and then tap one of the 10 keypad buttons to go to the last
used frequency, mode, etc. on the band related
Ah, thanks Jim and Don. While I have made some use of memories, I have not
done anything with M1 through M4, and I didn't realize the first 10 are
special. That's why I hang around this list, to learn more about this
great rig!!! Time for some manual reading and button playing tonight!
Thanks

Study the parts of the manual that talk about memories. A lot of what
you want can be achieved by programming memories.

it.

'real' radio. Do I care? Do I . :-)

Brian,
You are correct, it is a 2 button sequence, but I did not present it as
a single button operation.
If you hold the MV button instead of tapping it, you get AF Play -
which is no problem if you do not have the DVR3 installed.
Guest operators using my K3 at Field Day have had no problem
I'm not suggesting you buy a KPA500, but those that have them do have a
dedicated band button when properly cabled.

Hi Greg
The market already seems to be saturated with radios that appear to meet
your wants.
I sold an FT-990, an FT-1000D, plus an IC'756ProII shortly after my K-line
purchase and I've never regretted it. Both were fine radios, but certainly
not equal to my K3.
