The second suggestion by Don sounds like it would be "more fun" and not take
up an additional five memories.

The other easy solution is to use only 5 channel hopping memories and
create a Macro to move the VFO A up or down 1.5kHz depending on whether
you stored SSB or CW frequencies in VFO A. The frequency shift is
constant for all channels, so one Macro will do for all channels.
Assign the Macro to
That doesn't work Wes, the problem is simpler than that. However, Don
has confirmed the behavior, and now it's time for me to be a "Real Ham"
and do something here in NE Sparks NV [instead of on the list] to fix
"my" problem. Don's [and one other's] solution with 10 memories is a
first-run
I do what Don suggests. That said, I think if you do an A/B it will fix your
problem, if I understand it correctly.

Fred and all,
I have observed what you found. On Channel Hopping, VFO A follows the
hop to the next channel, but VFO B does not.
While a "fix" may be coming sometime, it is not likely to be coming
soon. So I propose a workaround.
The simple solution is to set 10 channel hopping memories
This began as a simple question, I can't understand why it is so hard to
explain: K3 frequency memories hold frequency, mode, and DSP BW for
both VFO A and VFO B. I used the K3 Frequency Editor to load the CW
parameters into VFO A and USB parameters into VFO B in 5 consecutive
memory
While you can scan or dial through VFO A, once you "land" on a particular
channel, the VFO B frequency and mode associated with that channel is
available by using the VFO A/B button.
I originally loaded the 60m CW frequencies in VFO A for my 60m channels
since I'm more likely to use them working

I'll try although it wasn't a question, it was an unexpected observation.

I'm not sure what your question is, can you restate it?
Each of the memories can be programmed so that both VFO (and mode for
each if I recall, been some years) are set, in this case one VFO for
USB/FT8 and the other for CW, with their specific frequencies as required.
Then you would simply
I loaded the 5 US 60 m "channels" into my K3 frequency memories, with
VFO A set to CW parameters, VFO B to USB parameters for each one, and
set to step through the 5 of them when recalled from memory. It works
great, just turn the Big Knob to step through the channels ... remember
CB? ...
Bill, while the original post was about the 60 m channels, the K3 Memory
Editor works for all frequencies for all bands. As you note, split
operation makes essentially no sense on the 5 60 m channels in the US.
It does make sense elsewhere.

Comments on the R & O - Effective EST on March 5, 2012.
Amateurs are permitted to operate on five specific frequency channels,
each having an effective bandwidth of 2.8 kHz.
*Table 1:*
Channel 1: 5330.5 kHz
Channel 2: 5346.5 kHz
Channel 3: 5357.0 kHz
Channel 4: 5371.5 kHz
Channel 5:
Split on 60 meters takes two channels and is a waste of BW.
Remember there is no "up 1k" on 60 meters. TX is only authorized on the
channels.

I use memories 61, 62, 63, 64 & 65 for 60 meter frequencies and mode.
You can choose memories of your choice. By doing this then pressing V-M
one can "tune" through the memories. Finding one you wish to use,then
press V-M again and the radio goes there.
Those frequencies are are as follows
I used the K3 Memory Editor and set up the 5 "channels" for both CW and
SSB. Worked really slick and I could give them meaningful names that
appear in VFO B. It's on the Elecraft site, "K3/K3s, KX3, and K2
Control Software." The memories contain both VFO A and B data, so you
can set up one
You might try the manual section on using memories. A 60 meter frequency works
like any other.
Also note that a "*" in the right place allows that group of memories to be
selected with VFO knob.

Pete,
Check page 42 of the K3S manual. What you are likely seeking is
"Channel Hopping". BTW, the same thing works for other than 60 meters
if you have a need - like checking the bands for DX Beacons.

Some time back there was some great information on setting up the K3(s) to
operate on 60 meters. It involved saving the frequencies in memories and
recalling them. I had my K3 set up that way but with the K3S changeover,
that's gone and I can't seem to find that information on the web (perhaps
Mike,
A couple of corrections:
1. In CW, the K3 normally uses LSB. CW-REV is USB. This makes no
difference to the recommendation (in CW or CW-REV, just tune the K3's
dial to the channel center).
2. In RTTY using either FSK D or AFSK A, the K3's dial displays the RTTY
Mark frequency (the

USB - set VFO to the lower edge of the channel (1500 Hz below center

If XIT and SPLIT are off, the K3's CW transmit frequency is the

The users desired CW pitch frequency is set with the K3's PITCH setting.

No. As Don pointed out, most modern transceivers always show transmitter
carrier frequency in the display. On USB and LSB, that will also be
the receiver carrier frequency. On
