When the 6 Meter band is dead, I like to either scan a range of frequencies or channel hop with my K3. Channel hopping is preferred because 10 specific frequencies can be monitored without the scan stopping on unstable (frequency or amplitude) signals from nearby electronic devices. I usually set up for channel hopping ten discrete CW and SSB frequencies on either side of 50.100 MHz.
After setting up the bank of 10 memory channels and flagging each with an asterisk, when I press the M>V button and turn the VFO-A dial, I can manually scan each memory channel. As expected, the mode stored (CW or SSB) is the one I hear when the VFO-A knob is turned. But when I start the automatic channel hopping, the mode does not change. The mode used in the hopping appears to be mode that was in effect when the scan button is pressed. Can the firmware be modified so the mode stored with each memory position is the one that is used when channel hopping? On another memory related matter, it appears that the filter bandwidth chosen for the last stored CW memory is the bandwidth applied to every CW memory in the bank of 100 memories. The same holds for the last filter chosen for a SSB memory. Are there plans to also store the preferred bandwidth AND mode chosen for each stored memory channel? Thanks to all on the Elecraft team who continue to improve the functionality of this great K3 radio. 73, Rich - K1HTV ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
