Likewise, I don't want Are you sure ? messages.
What would suit me would be a few scratch memories that are
unprotected. Maybe a setting under the VFOB Menu display which
could switched from Protect/Unprotect for the other memories that
I had spent some time setting up.

On Fri,
That sounds like the best option so far Stewart, allow us to mark a
memory as read-only in some way as we save it and then to overwrite
it, you have to flip the switch to write-enable.
Default all memories to write-enable and that way all those who don't
want this feature just ignore it
Kent,
There's a balance between asking for design changes and carping and it's
sometimes hard to know where to draw the line... Note my original
message just stated the problem I had without stating a possible
solution... I'll leave that to Elecraft, as they are still actively
developing
Guys . . .
This is much ado about nothing. Just LEARN how the K3 does memory
storage and retrieval and it will become second-nature to you.
During the first week or two following assembly I overwrote some
memories a time or two myself . . . until I trained myself not to. In

amount of that) should be programmed to serve humanity and not the
other way around.

might be worthwhile keeping some memories that don't require that - I
keep 00 to 09 for storing some frequency i want to come back to
shortly - I'm not using M1-M4 for that since I store various frequency
in them for the band - like start of band, start of SSB, end of SSB etc

How about a single level 'undo' or 'Recycle Bin' that saves the last
modified memory contents. That way, if you realize you've overwritten
a memory by mistake, you can 'undo' to get the original contents back.

Would your rule be covered if you had to hold in another button at the same
time as hitting the memory button? Or, say, turn the power to zero before
making memory additions...

For example, a
(hypothetical!) button that shuts down the jet engines on an aircraft
requires a confirmation step... because turning off the engines until
the pilot hits UnDo would be bad!
This rule applies to software as well as hardware.

Or maybe just require two presses of VM? That's the way one of my talkies
works. When I hit VM, the memory number flashes. Hitting VM again
stores the info in that memory.
I find this a very good proposal.

And then it would be nice to hear the memory when you press MVFO as
you step through the memories.
