K3 band stacking suggestion

Steve,

".....An alternative for those who didn't have a KPA500 is an outboard
accessory box including a small micro-controller to create the command
sequences the amp would otherwise send, and a set of push buttons with band
labels (160-80-40-30 etc.). I would consider making such a 3rd party
accessory available."

And I would buy one too!

I have K3 #371 since Feb 2008 and while I do realy
enjoy this radio, the lack of this feature has
always been an issue for me.

I know of many hams who have not gone down the K3
road because of the lack of this feature.

Re: K3 band stacking suggestion

Could someone please explain "Band Stacking Registers" to me ... Off
reflector *please* since I seem to be the only one on the planet who
doesn't already understand this. I have a K3, P3, and KPA500. I
haven't always had the P3 and KPA500 but have known how to change bands
since I first got my K3.

73,

Actually I don't have a clue what they're talking about either. 73, Guy.

the pdf in the search will bring up the manufacture's descriptions.
