[K3] Second chance for V>M M1-M4 memory saves?

[Barry]

I use M1-M3 as quick memories to get to the CW, SSB and RTTY parts of the bands, including the mode change.  Every now and then, instead of pressing M>V Mx to move freq/mode, I'll hit V>M by mistake.  Then, I have to reprogram the button.

Is there any way to enable an "Are you sure?" or similar prompt when overwriting a freq/mode with V>M?

Tnx,
Barry W2UP

Now on the wish-list. Unfortunately the list is long, and I have only ten fingers :(

It's been a long time since this has come up, but I'll repeat my low-tech solution: I cut
out a red sticker and pasted it over the V>M button. This creates a psychological barrier
to pressing it! Really, it works.

Please don't institute such a silly thing on MY K3!!!
I make that mistake occasionally myself, but give myself a dope slap,
re-program the button and promise to pay more attention in the future.
