Buy another radio that does everything you want.
Of course, it hasn't been built yet.
Here's an idea, start your own company and build the perfect radio,

My oh my. What is so hard about changing bands on the K3?
You can use the band up/down button (which means you are no more than
5 pushes away from any band, probably less). Is it really important
to change bands in less than 2 or 3 seconds?
You can use direct keypad entry. Also under 5

I don't want to depend on my computer.
I don't want to have to repeatedly push an up/down button.

If you're using WriteLog software, K3 bandswitching is a breeze -- Simply
type the first two digits of the desired band (14, e.g.) into WriteLog, hit
Enter, and you're there (14000). Want to go to an exact frequency? Type

bands using the up/down button, spinning the tuning knob unnecessarily or
that will just require getting used to.

I spent about 15 Min programming my bands into the #1-10 keys and the 3 modes
on each band (CW, SSB, PSK) into the M1=M3 keys. I set my first favorite
freq in VFO A, second in VFO B for each M# key for that band. I can go where
