I recently have been using the four M1 through M4 band memories to store frequencies, filter bandwidth info, and mode setup data for 4 modes on each band. After setting the frequency, mode and bandwidth for that mode, a press of the V>M button followed by one of the four M1-4 buttons will store this data into that particular band memory. After switching to a band, a press of the M>V followed by one of the four M# buttons will move the K3 to a frequency where that mode is normally used and set up the K3 for that mode. It also sets up the bandwidth that was programmed into the selected M1-4 memory for that band.
All works fine when selecting the desired mode on a band with M>V followed by the M# button set up for that mode. I have memory setups on each band for CW, SSB, PSK31 (MD6, DT0 & 2.5KHz BW) and RTTY (MD6,DT2 & 500 Hz BW). Alternating back and forth between the first 3 modes produces the correct bandwidth as stored in the memories. Selecting the RTTY mode will also set the K3 to a narrow bandwidth. However, after the RTTY mode has been selected, when I switch to the PSK31 mode, its bandwidth is no longer 2.5 KHz. It is a much narrower 500 Hz and stays there until the WIDTH knob is turned to widen it back to the desired wider bandwidth. Once RTTY is selected on any band, the PSK31 bandwidth is reduced to 500 Hz on all bands where the band memory used for that mode.
I also have noticed that no matter what bandwidth is stored in a band memory used for RTTY, it is always stored as 500 Hz. This is normally not a problem, since this default BW is fine for RTTY reception.
Are these two noted anomalies bugs or features ? :-)
