I started this thread by suggesting a new setup option
for band buttons, a new enhancement that would detract
from no existing features.
I expected at most "not necessary" by th
These ideas make much more sense than trying to remap front panel
buttons. I think the field testers did a great job of defining how the

Why not make an additional set of control buttons and use the "secret"
connector on the bottom right side of the K3. Just a small panel that would
fit under the K3 and would give you numerous programmable buttons. Then, you
could set up the button on the little add on panel.

Or you can just use an up/down and get done the working up the bands and
scanning with the dial...
Hell our forefathers had to tune up for quite some time to change bands.
Now we've reached the point where using and up/down button set is too
slow for us. Then god forbid we actually have to engage

Don, here's another idea...
Right now, the RIT knob has the option of being used as a coarse VFO
tuner when RIT and XIT are off. Perhaps people would like the option
