K3 Channel Hopping

[rfenabled]

Just a simple channel hopping feature such as Kenwood offer on TS-870/850/690/680/450/440 etc, simple yet effective and functional, no button pushing multiple times or menu manipulation would be a vast improvement on what the K3 can do for all it's whiz bang gadgetry.....

My 2 cents worth

Back under my rock I crawl..:-)

Yes!
Press M>V and use VFO B to step through the memories.
And you can hear what is on the memories as you step through them.
And you can tune off the memory with VFO A.
   While in the memory mode:
     Tune more than 1KHz and it goes out of memory mode and stays on the
frequency on the display.
     Or
     The K3 stays in memory mode until you tap M>V again to leave memory
mode and stays on the frequency on the display.

It's the list of 'little things' that we were accustomed to on a radio
that are somewhat frustrating when things don't work the way we expect
them to work!

I like this idea - I'd like it to stay in 'memory mode' no matter how  
far of we tune with VFO A, but tuning VFO B goes to the next memmory,  
regardless of where VFO A is.
