My vote is for the VFO displays to be in wavelength (YARDS, FEET and
INCHES) with an option for frequency in ROMAN NUMERALS!!!!!
Now, back to normal service.
73 and enjoy

a mistake that persisted through the years.
The button marked "band" with up and down arrows really is frequency.
Nowhere is it written that the bands assigned to the Amateur service must be
referred to by wavelength.

The K3 would be incorrect if the readout was in wavelength. Picture, instead
of "7.00000 MHz" on the LCD you saw "42827.494 meters". If that happened,
the UP/DOWN button would be working backwards. (Quick, what's the upper
frequency limit on the 75 meter band?. It's 74948.1145 meters. Aw... Lets
stay with Hz)
