Re: [Elecraft] K3 : band stacking registers
I am not at all enamored with a band stacking register indicator. They added one to the Orion and it is meaningless. How do I remember what "band stacking register 3 on 20 meters" is vs. "band stacking register 4" or "band staking register 3 on 40 meters." The display already shows you the frequency and mode. If you aren't where you want to be, push the button again. It is that easy. Let's wait until the radios get delivered to start fine tuning the interface. And to the guys at Elecraft: THANK YOU for wanting to get it right before you release. We can wait. Disclaimer - No cats were harmed in the making of this message.

Steve Jackson wrote: Yes, it would be nice to just hit the 40m button to get there and then tap it again to move between frequencies on that band. An hour up at HRO in Sunnyvale playing with a PROIII front panel would have convinced me of that. I used to agree with that - that having "Band Buttons" to press to change bands was the only way to go. And maybe 20 years ago it was - Band Buttons or Bandswitch. And I thought that was going to be a major problem that I would have with the K2. But it was not a problem. Why? Because 90% of my band or frequency changes come from the laptop or PC. Type the frequency where I want to go. Click on the DX spot. Go Band Up or Band Down from the function keys. Maybe it's a workaround for not having "Band Buttons", but I don't miss not having them on the K2 and won't miss having them on the K3. 73HankK8DD -- --- 'Never argue with an idiot.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 Band Stacking registers?
I think this is covered in the FAQ under 'Memory'. It talks about M1-M4 being band-stacking registers on a per-band basis. 73, Ed - W0YK > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of wayne burdick > Sent: Thursday, 26 July, 2007 22:09 > To: Don Rasmussen > Cc: Elecraft List > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3 Band Stacking registers? > > > On Jul 26, 2007, at 9:57 PM, Don Rasmussen wrote: > > > The "band stacking" registers topic is one that I think could be > > clarified in the FAQ. > > Don, > > One other point we may not have covered in the FAQ.

Of the 100 general-purpose memories (which doesn't include the M1..M4 per-band memories), memories 1-9 can be accessed with a shortcut method: Just tap M->V, then 1-9 on the keypad. I'd recommend using these to get to your 9 favorite bands (or frequencies) if you don't want to use the BAND UP/DN switches or enter the MHz value using FREQ ENT. Of course once you're on the desired band, you can then use M->V with M1..M4 to get to four additional favorite frequencies/modes on each band. Every memory stores both VFOs, filter presets, etc. The reason we didn't provide individual band-stacking switches is that the K3, unlike other rigs in this class, is not big enough to have its own zip code. We used the available space for buttons assigned to often used functions like preamp, attenuator, AGC, NR, NB, notch, etc. We think it's a good tradeoff. 73, Wayne N6KR --- http://www.elecraft.com ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
