You may not like it, but I like this way much better than the Kendwood method. You cannot please everyone.

A basic TS570 has a V/M switch, you are either in VFO mode or Memory mode. In memory mode rotating the multi-function knob switches through memories, receiving on each as you switch, even changing bands. It doesn't rely on copying the contents to the VFO, prefixing them with a "*" or any other "work arounds". The later TS480 works in the same manner. Short of bringing out a MK2 version of the K3's front panel, I guess you have painted yourself into a corner as there isn't a VFO/Mem switch on the K3. 73 Dave, G4AON =============================== Julian, Dave, Tony: I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. The K3 lets you designate any number of variable-length blocks of channelized frequency memories, then use VFO A to instantly hop among them. You can also do channel-hop scanning within one of these blocks. For example, I have memories 61-65 set up as a channel block for the five U.S. 60-m frequencies. From any band, I can simply recall one of these memories, and the VFO becomes a "channel" control, just as if the rig were crystal-controlled. Similarly, I have a block set up for 2-m repeaters, etc. Am I missing something? <SNIP> Wayne N6KR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
