K3 60m setup?

[CX7TT]

While playing with my K3, I selected 5.0 mHZ for WWV using manual Freq
ENT. When I then changed bands with the rocker switch the bands would go
from 80m to 5.0 to 40m. I vaguely remember seeing one of the 60m freq
5403.5 when I first fired up the rig back in March. Did I inadvertently
erase the 60m channels or were they never there? I looked thru the
manual but could only find on page 37 how to set up Channel Hopping. Are
programmed memory freqs how we access 60m?
I then manually programmed the 60m freq into Memory 1-5 and included the
* for channel hopping...however, the M>V did not work to save the
freq..so then I went to page 16 and programmed the memories via V>M. So
now I have the 5 60m freq in memories 1 thru 5. When I try to start
scanning (Channel hopping) by holding 'Scan', I get "Set A/B" on the
lower LCD. I tried to put 5330.5 in A and 5403.5 in B and press 'SCAN'.
Then it said M>V req.  I set memory 1 to 5330.5 and B vfo was 5403.5..So
I followed the instructions of M>V and set #1 memory and tried 'SCAN'
agn...this time the B vfo defaulted to 5.000 mHZ....ok, I give up...what
am I missing?

Channel Hopping doesn't work yet.  It's on the fixit list.

True, channel hopping isn't yet implemented in firmware (nor is  
stopping for strong stations when scanning).

Also, others have reported the same problem of BAND switch going to  
out-of-band previous stops, like WWV. We have to wait for that too.

Best to be thrilled with what you have, and wait patiently for the  
small issues to be addressed.
