Hello all, Modes As I used my K3 on LSB, AM and CW only, wonder if there is a menu setting or trick to shutting off the unused modes? I'd like to not have to scroll through them. Would a macro be the way to go here? AM Broadcast Bands I like to listen to late night AM on the broadcast bands,

Thanks Wayne, replies/questions below. Modes - found the FM, currently shut off, so perhaps I should just create a macro to mode switch? AM Broadcast - yes, that explains what I noticed, seems to really attenuate anything below 1200 Kc Memories - Using on a Macbook Air, I like Parallels, but

I'm well into the development of the K3 Memory Manager for Mac (and possibly Linux if I can get all of the custom UI elements to work properly under all flavors of Linux). Really. No kidding.  http://w4smt.com/k3me.jpg I'm eyeball deep in the KPA Utility and XG3 Utility for Mac/Linux at the
