K3: Wish List--Ad a General coverage mode for SW Listening

[N0SA]

I like to use my K3 for general coverage listening from time to time. It is a great performer for this purpose.
My only complaint is that after I tune around for awhile and then go back to my Ham band memories they are all screwed up with out of band settings and AM mode.
  It would be nice to maybe use a PF button to put it in General coverage mode so it will not effect the Ham band usage.

I solved this problem by programming the per-band memories (M1 - M4 on  
the front panel) with frequencies and modes in each band.  M1 is CW  
mode near the low end of the CW sub-band, M2 is CW near the high end  
of the CW sub-band, M3 for the low end of the phone segment, and M4  
for the high end of the phone band.  I do this on each ham band.  
Then, after tuning around the SW bands, I just hit M>V, M1 and I'm  
back in the ham band on CW.

Not quite as easy as what you're suggesting, but it works for me.
