You probably have 40m mapped out. See "Config: Bnd Map" A similar thing can happen when you wander out of the ham bands. The problem is that the K3 considers 40m (for example) to exend all the way down into the 49m SWBC band as far as the BAND switch is concerned. The K3 boundary between 40m and 60m is 6.000 MHz: frequencies above 6.0 are "assigned" to 40m, and those below to 60m.
For general coverage users a quick way to recover from this "glitch" is to program your Mx buttons with frequencies in each ham band. Then when you wander out of a ham band you can quickly restore BAND to a proper ham frequency by pushing M->V M1 73, Drew AF2Z On Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:39:07 -0500, Brian K1LI wrote: >Since installing v3.56 and continuing with v3.57, the front panel BAND >control always takes me to 5.975 MHz in AM-S when I try to QSY to 40m.
