The biggest problem with all of this is that different manufacturers
have given different names to the same thing and the same name to
different things. We can talk about band stacking registers (no clue

Dave,
I believe what is really wanted is random access band buttons - in
other words a single button press for each band. For the life of me, I
cannot figure out how this ever has been construed in ham circles to use
the term band stacking memories - perhaps someone can tell me how

I haven't used the K3 receiver enough to really comment, but I like the way
the TS-930 works (with the PIEXX board installed). There are 99 memories
available which are accessed via the RIT knob (similar to the K3 and the VFO
B knob). In addition, there are 9 individual band buttons on the
My K3 should be arriving in a 2-3 weeks so I'll
obviously pass on making suggestions until I can play with it awhile.
My Omni VII's band stacking registers are not FIFO
but rather like having four sets of VFO's for each band at
the push of one button.
So VFO A could be at 14.001 and VFO B
I don't have a K3 yet but I'm happy with the Band+ and Band- buttons
on my K2. I pretty much know how many pushes I'll need to get from one
band to another, usually only one or two away.
Anyhow, the display changes instantly with each button push before the
relays get a chance to switch, so you
I'm starting to think that if, historically, all rigs had come with
Band+ and Band- buttons, plus dedicated GoToBandXY buttons, we'd be
seeing posts asking for a knob connected by a shaft to a multi-gang
rotary switch, hooked to a big air-wound coil with multiple taps.

John,
If you assign the 'Quick Memories' to the bands as suggested in the
manual (and per Windy's solution on the reflector), then you have
exactly the same function as your TS-930 provides. In addition, the
K3's band up/down buttons will take you to the last used frequency on
any band
Don (fpr type),
The TS-930 is a 25 year old design - post Y2K those
memories (registers) are tunable, accessed randomly,
and stacked to some level.

it seemed that every transceiver these days that's big
