K3 Channel Changing

rfenabled
I wonder if there is (or will be in the future) a way to store frequencies (on all bands) into memory and then be able to go to VM mode and use either the VFO A or B to rotate through all o the memories?

I have owned a few radios that had this feature and it would be handy for my operating conditions.

I have used the M1-M4 and the Band switching via the keypad, but find this cumbersome and time consuming as well as restrictive.

If this has been addressed previously then apology is given but I don't have time to read all the traffic on the reflector.

This capability is already in place.  You need to proceed the name of the
memory with a * and they need to be in sequential memory locations in order
to pull it off but once you recall one you can then tune through the
memories with the VFO A knob.  This is especially handy for the channelized
US 60Meter band.  

Read about Channel Hopping on page 40 of the current K3 owner's manual which
can be found here:

Yes, you can do that .... It would be nice if you could actually hear
the memory frequency before you press M>V again to go to that frequency.
