K3 BND MAP In/Out and K144XV

[Alexandr Kobranov]

I have faced to strange behavior of my K3 & K144XV module.

I have XVTR1 and XVTR2 defined as internal K144XV
(I need two 144/146 bands for my transvertors)

As I want to "lock" K3 for VHF/UHF contest as 144MHz radio only I set
all HF bands as "out" (item BND MAP Out for all HF bands) and left
only two XVTR bands as "In".

I suppose to see only changing of 144MHz bands by Band Up/Down buttons.

But...

Let say I am on 144.300 (XVTR1) -> BandUp -> 146.125 (XVTR2) -> Band
Up -> 28.445MHz (!!!) -> BandUp -> 144.300 ...etc

with BandDown is cycling
144.300 -> 3.746 (!!!) -> 146.125 -> 144.300 -> 3.746 ....etc..

The same if I have only one XVTR active - jump to 28MHz/3.7MHz by
BandUp/Down.

All the time 3.5 and 28 bands are marked as Out in BND MAP settings.

Anyone else can try this? Have I some bad settings or this is some
problem in firmware?
Using FW 4.36 in K3 and 1.04 in K144XV.

This is not so serious but not working as I suppose to work - so asking...

73!

Nope...it's a feature...Grin

I found this anomaly sometime ago and I asked if this could be corrected.
The answer was IF some more folks ask we can look at doing this.

Please make your interest known to Wayne...N6KR
