I have 162.425 programmed in my KX3-2M and works just fine! The NOAA station is only 20 miles away and received at S7 with a base station vertical at 20-feet.

I was initially frustrated by the memory editor but found that I could direct enter the frequency following the steps in the KX3 manual on page 17 - Frequency Memories, after direct entering the frequency per page 10. More involved than using the memory editor but it works!

I do not find the sensitivity roll-off noticeable at 162 MHz.

The K3 cannot tune that high if using 28-MHz as IF. I find Tx level unusable above 146-MHz (30-MHz) as output drops off quickly above this though the Rx receives well to 32-MHz. My 50w transverter is only driven to 7w on 146.52 by my K3 (30.52 MHz).

The K3/KX3 can't tune those frequencies ... even with the
2 meter transverters.  Those frequencies would be well above
30 MHz (IF limit).
