K3 80 meter band not seen

[Gary Smith-2]

Folks,

I'm at the final stages of readying a K3 for a friend. I've gone
through every thing I can think of to be sure it is working
perfectly. It has all the updates and upgrades available, and it
seemed to be working perfectly. That is, till I noticed the 60M is
not showing up when changing bands.

I have done the TX calibrations with the Utility and it calibrated at
5336 kHz TxGain LP, HP and at 1MW so its in the radio but when I
change bands it bypasses 5 MHz. From 1.60 MHz up it goes:

1.8
3.7
7
10
14
18
21
24
28
50

Using the MW calibration the Utility tested:

1900 kHz TxGain MW  08
3750 kHz TxGain MW  09
5336 kHz TxGain MW  16
7150 kHz TxGain MW  17
10125 kHz TxGain MW  16
14200 kHz TxGain MW  18
18110 kHz TxGain MW  26
21200 kHz TxGain MW  31
24930 kHz TxGain MW  34
29000 kHz TxGain MW 100
52000 kHz TxGain MW  77


I've never seen this before and looking at the manual, I see nothing
relating to turning off the 60 meter band or turning it back on. I
can manually enter a 5 MHz frequency but when I change bands, it
bypasses it again.

I must be missing some setting but scanning the manual, I see nothing
under bypassing 60 meters or bypassing 5 MHz.

Suggestions?

Folks a typo in my original subject line; The subject line should
read 60 meter band not seen, not the 80 meter band.

sorry,

Gary,

See the menu item BND MAP.  That allows you to configure any band in or out.
See page 54 in the manual.

Folks,

Thanks to helpful replies off-list, the answer lies in the band map
option in Config, something I have never used but works well.

Thank you,
