I recently set up a band of memories for the frequencies used by one of the DX-peditions. Using the "Elecraft K3 Memory Editor" the CW, SSB & RTTY freqs were stored in a few of the ten channel memory banks. When the "Frequency Hopping" was started, the K3 hopped properly to the frequencies in each of the 10 memories, but did NOT follow the mode set in the memories.
The K3 stayed in only one mode for all channels chosen for frequency hopping. It stayed in the mode of the channel chosen to initialize the setup (M>V, select memory with VFO-A, M>V, then hold the SCAN button).
The channels received should follow the mode for each channel as read from each memory in the bank, right?
Also, it would be helpful, when in the K3 channel hopping mode, to have some way of slowing down the speed of the scan. There appears to be no way of changing the frequency hopping speed. When scanning a range between between two frequencies, the tuning rate and the speed of scanning can be changed using 'FINE/COARSE' and 'RATE' buttons. At a minimum, can the same options be added to the channel hopping mode? Being able to listen to a switched channel for at least a few seconds is needed to identify what is on the channel.
