W0YK:
>No indication planned on the display. You select the per-band memory you
want by tapping M->V followed by the appropriate M1-M4 button. (Programmed
by V->M.) Numbered memories 00-99 are global.
I've got it now. You directly access the desired stack
memory by choosing M1-M4. So I would adopt a simple convention
M1 = CW, M2 = SSB, etc. The stack in Orion was accessed by
pressing the band button with the 4-stack memory rotating in one
direction only. The only way to tell which stack you were on
was to scroll through all 4. Eventually (...after 3 years) they
added an ABCD indicator to the display.
>How would you use an indicator?
Given the way the K3 stack works I agree one is
unnecessary. I also like being able to directly access
a stack memory with just 2 button presses, rather than
potentially using 4 presses via scrolling, as in Orion
and Omni VII.
I've always been pleasantly surprised by the
ergonomics of the K2. Translation: It does what I
expect and doesn't do unexpected and unwanted things.
With the thought that has obviously gone into the K3,
I expect I'll continue to be pleasantly surprised and
even delighted. I also appreciate Elecraft using some
very competent contesters (e.g. N6TR, N6XI, W0YK, etc)
as beta testers and taking their inputs seriously.
