OT: Bandstack?

[Jim AB3CV]

I've done some googling and haven't found a definition of bandstack
registers and what their use/benefit are.

Could someone point me to a url or pm me with a description?

tnx and 73

Jim,

I really don't know how the term "bandstacking" registers got into
amateur use.
 From programming, the concept of a register stack is well established.  
you push entries into the top of the stack and the others move down one
level in the stack.  You can then retrieve the topmost entry and the
others move upward.  IMHO, not very useful for ham radio operation that
I use.

The K3 memories are "random access" which means that one can retrieve
the contents of any entry at random - you just have to know what is in
each enrty.

The M1 - M4 buttons can be used to quickly store 4 frequencies per band
- as you are tuning around a band and hear a signal of interest, tap the
V>M button and then one of the M1-M4 buttons - then tune on again.  When
you want to come back to the prior frequency, tap M>V and then the
button you stored the frequency into.  It can remember 4 per band.

The K3 also has 100 general purpose memories that you can set up for any
fixed frequency you want to retrieve.  The first 10 are 'quick memories'
that can be used to recall the last used frequency on any band.
In addition to the frequency, the mode, filter presets, antenna
selection, and other settings are saved.

Don,

Thank you for the clarification and reminding how to use the memory keys, I
hadn't used them for awhile while learning other things and this helped me
get caught up!

I just uploaded K3_EZ, a Windows application I've written for the K3
(Apologies to K3EZ!).   It provides:

* A set of 5 'memory-like' frequency storage areas per band and mode

* A frequency and mode database, useful for SWL frequencies

* A graphic interface for the K3 RX and TX equalizers with a database for
storing favorite settings, MIC Gain, Compression, and setup notes

* 4 panels of information containing the majority of the K3 CONFIG settings
with 'one click' access to any of these for you to easily make changes

The application should run on WIN 98SE and up as long as Microsoft's .NET
Framework 2.0 or later is installed on your PC.
(See this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa569263.aspx  for
the latest info on MS .NET Framework)

You can download K3_EZ here: http://home.roadrunner.com/~n2bc/   follow the
link for "K3 Software"

Comments, questions, etc (bugs?) to me directly please:  [hidden email]
