Alright, apparently I'm not the only one on the planet who didn't know what BSR's are. Thank you all who replied to me directly. For my colleagues who expressed bewilderment like mine, here is K6KR's cogent reply: ------------- Hi, Fred.
Generally you press the BAND button and it returns to the most recent 3 frequency/mode combinations you've used on that band. So press the 40 meter button, and tune to 7005 and set mode CW. Then QSY to 20 meters Then press the 40 meter button, it returns to 7005 CW, the last frequency/mode used on 40. Now tune (or direct frequency enter) to 7095 and select LSB. Now go to 20 Press the 40 meter button, you're at 7095 SSB, the last 40 meter frequency/mode. Press 40 again and it changes to 7005 CW (the second most recently used frequency on 40). ----------- Thank you Dick. I'm a linear thinker, so one-step-at-a-time explanations like yours work best for me. I never managed to get my Organic Chem prof to understand that, and a recipe that requires more than one burner at a time is a non-starter. I can see how BSR's could be useful in things like the TX or GA QSO parties. Counties are numerous [especially TX] and a bit small, and these QP's are sort of a "chase the mobiles" romp. Press a band button once or more and you're back to see if he's moved into a new county. Unfortunately, I wouldn't remember who was on which frequency. I will not need BSR's. When I found out my K3 had memories like my HT's, I spent a dreary winter morning storing all my favorite frequencies in them. When the Elecraft Memory Editor came out, I spent an equally dreary rainy afternoon re-organizing them since now I could see them all on the screen with labels. I haven't used a K3 memory since. I don't think I know how. Apparently, the frequencies weren't quite as favorite as I first thought. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw "OChem ... harder than partial differential equations" ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
