K3 Band Changing

Phil Salas
OK - How about one of you smart PIC guys building a keypad that plugs into
the RS232 port.  The keys could be marked with the bands.  Multiple presses
of the individual band keys would provide for band stacking.  This would
make a great accessory for the K3, would make a great QST article, and maybe
even would be the way to start your own accessory business.

Re: K3 Band Changing

Heaven forbid.  The "bandswitch" belongs on the radio.

I waiting for the day the Elecraft decides to drill a hole an the front
panel and add a real bandswitch.

I'm a bit dismayed by all the extra "dongles"  I will now have to
connect to interface the K3 to existing equipment-- e.g. an external
"box" just to add pull up resistors for the band data and to manage the
15 pin DE connector stuff.

In other words,  NO OCTOPUS please.
