I do a lot of SWL'ing and AM BCB listening and always return to the ham bands by using one of the first 10 memory locations. This was an idea posted a while ago and I still find it very handy. It's almost like band buttons. I use: Mem 1 = 10 meters Mem 2 = 20 meters Mem 3 = 30 meters Mem 4 = 40 meters Mem 5 = 15 meters Mem 6 = 60 meters (then M1 to M4 for the rest) Mem 7 = 17 meters Mem 8 = 80 meters Mem 9 = 6 meters (6 = upside down 9) Mem 0 = 160 meters I have been able to remember these assignments. To get to 12 meters, I first go to 15 meters as above and then press Band Up. I have most of the other 90 available memories filled with misc. SWL and AM BCB station frequencies. To rapidly switch between memories, I normally use the program "Commander", which has access to all 100 memory locations. I programmed the first 10 in Commander to be the same as the first 10 in the K3. 73, John W2XS -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-Firmware-Req-for-SWL-band-tp4009060p4009519.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
