I wouldn't mind keeping BAND as a hamband-only control. However, in this case it would be nice if the K3's band boundaries usng this control did conform to the legal ham bands (i.e., 40m should end at 7.000, not 6.000 MHz). I suppose this would mean, for instance, when you wander below 7.0 MHz, that BAND should remember "7.000" and no lower. (But I guess this would be complicated by the differring band assignments for different jurisdictions....)
I would like to have a coarse tuning rate of 1.0 MHz so that any 1 MHz band in the entire 30 MHz HF coverage could be accessed within one revolution of the VFO knob. I think this would be slightly more convenient than direct frequency entry. I would also like to have some macro commands for manipulation of frequency memory. With this capability you could program a "band bank" macro that would copy a range of ten frequency slots into the 00-09 "quick memory" positions. Then you could switch in a bank of ten SWL frequency pairs, or a bank of SSB, or CW, AM Bcst, etc. Then use the "M>V x" quick memory to access the bands in your currently selected bank. 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:30:34 -0500, Steve N4LQ wrote: >let me make this an offical request for FW if it's possible. >Either: >1.
