Direct Frequency Entry obviates the need to even touch the main dial, much less
crank it.

The manual says:
"Set VFO A to the starting frequency, and VFO B to the ending frequency."
This becomes tedious if I want to scan the entire 10-meter SSB segment;
cranking VFO B to 29.700 takes forever.
Is there a way I can use FREQ ENT to put 29.700 in VFO A, then transfer or copy
that to VFO
No. Scanning proceeds from the VFO A frequency to the VFO B frequency, and is
actually implemented only on the main receiver. This applies to the
K3/K3S/KX2/KX3.
The K4 will likely have additional scanning options, e.g. scanning separately
on the two receivers.

Am I correct in deducing that scanning requires the sub receiver?

If you narrow your filter it may stop closer to that "sweet spot"? Or maybe it
won't stop at all; you'll have to experiment.

Hi All,
I've been gathering information on the scanning feature of the KX3 (not an
owner..yet - VERY tempting).
I have the basics - VFO scan, channel hopping, live scan, muted scan, the
rules for channel hopping.
I found this:

I think that a step is missing from the manual. To Scan one must first do
what the manual describes. Once you have held the SCAN button the display
shows your VFO A and VFO B settings, to start scanning you must hold the
SCAN button once more. From this point, the manual picks up again with the

A few questions about scanning...
I would like to be able to scan and channel hop frequencies & segments that
span several bands. It seems this is not allowed by the K3 using just the
buttons, but is it possible to do this via programming a macro using /MC/?
If so what is the optimal way to do it?
I find that using M1-M4 as band segment memories works quite well for
me... I'll use M1 as a CW band segment, M2 as an SSB band segment, M3
as a data modes segment...
Then I can quickly recall them and start scanning that segment. They
also make for a quick way to get where I want to be... Sa
There is a macro in the down loadable Programmer's Reference called
SCANNOW that can make scanning simpler to use, especially for for
fequencies that you use infrequently. You can also use the M-V and V-M
to enter frequencies in the K3 memory for VFO A and VFO that you wish to
recall more freq
You need to fully recall the memory into the VFO before hitting scan...

When scanning cw or ssb, when the scan encounters a signal is it up to the
operator to tune in the ssb signal when the scan pauses? Can it be
programmed to stop the scan exactly on a readable ssb signal?

On the K2, is it possible to SCAN without filling a memory? It's neat
being able to hold RCL and hold 4 to scan 40m or whatever, but on
occasions when I've wanted to scan a different section of a band, it

When I'm using my scan function on 40M, it just scans past stations that
are S8-9, and keeps going.
I've tried different filter settings, etc. What have I missed?
