[Elecraft] K3 Memory locations overwriting quick memories

2013-11-22 Thread Nate Bargmann
For easy band access, I am using the quick band memories laid out such that 1 is 160m to 0 is 6m excluding 60m. This gives an easy two tap band change. These occupy memory locations 00 to 09. For convenience I have entered the WWV frequencies into memory locations 90 to 94 (the 60m

Nate, May I suggest that you use a 'workaround' until that problem can be resolved. Copy the quick memories into 10 other memory locations - say memories 10 thru 19. Then if something (including punching the wrong buttons), you can restore the quick memory locations easily. I have my

Nate, The answer is in the Owner's Manual. Search for CONFIG:MEN 0-9 If the parameter is set to BAND SEL, frequency memories 0-9 (“quick memories”) will act like band switches. Once this mode has been selected, exit the menu, then use V M to assign individual bands to keypad switches 0-9.

Nate, I am a member of Navy Marine Corps MARS and have many of the MARS allocations saved in my K3 memories. All of them are outside the Ham Bands. My solution to not preventing transmission mistakes like transmitting on the WWV frequencies, or transmitting SSB in the CW Bands, or out side the

I agree with Tom. I am AF MARS, we operate on lot's of Federal frequencies, all outside the Ham bands. Just need to pay attention to your operating which we all should be doing. Jack W4GRJ / AFA4DG On Nov 22, 2013, at 21:55, Tom n...@n5ge.com wrote: Nate, I am a member of Navy Marine
