Re: [Elecraft] KX3 suggestion for additional "General" band

[Erik Tkal]

Right, it’s the jumping off point.  And it isn’t til you go back to that band 
later that you realizes something’s not quite right, because you never intended 
to change anything there, so the frequency and mode are off.  Makes me think of 
Orlando Bloom in Pirates of the Caribbean - “That’s not where I left you”…

[Grant Youngman]

Hmmm .. On second thought, you're right. It does depend on where you leave off. 
 Ok. I'm on board for a GEN band setting

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 suggestion for additional "General" band

I use the 10m band slot for this purpose. It's relatively simple to reset for 
10m CW if I want to go there, which is rare

[Walter Underwood]

I’m pretty sure I suggested it a long time ago. A GEN band would be really 
handy.
