K3 - programmable mode and band choices?

[Dave, G4AON]

Will it be possible to configure a K3 to give CW/SSB and a choice of
bands to avoid needing to step through all the modes and bands?

That would be a neat improvement...

Dave,

Forwarding this to Wayne for a "future" firmware request.  Definitely will not be
in the first production run firmware.....but that's the beauty of a radio that can
easily be updated.

But surely this is possible with the K2, Dave, by using the ten memory
keys.  My understanding is that anything the K2 will do, the K3 will do
better.

What I mean is (for example), suppose you have a dual band antenna for
80 and 40 metres and a single band antenna for 6m. You only operate CW
and SSB, therefore it may be useful to "disable" the other bands and
modes via the menu so the band up/down and mode switches didn't take you
to bands and modes you didn't use. It's not a big issue, but could be
useful. The rigs that suffer the most tend to be FM mobiles for 2m and
70cms where you have to step through aircraft, public service, weather
and other non amateur bands to change from one amateur band to
another... Thankfully the K3 isn't in that league.
