Hi Matt, Thanks for your response. I see that using the memories will tune to the stored frequency -- but it still hijacks a ham band. I like using the 'Band' button on the KPA500 to band-select the K3, but after selecting a non-ham band memory, that gets screwed up as well. I don't see a way to access a G/C frequency without this being the result.
It seems to me that if the ham band slots disallowed frequency assignments outside of their respective bands, that would keep this from happening, and would be consistent with the K3 being first and foremost a ham-band receiver. 73, Dale WA8SRA > Hi Dale, > > When you're tuning around outside the hand bands, your last "dwell" > frequency will be set in the appropriate ham band For example, > listening to WWV on 15 MHz, 15.000 will become your VFO A's 20m > frequency.
