K3 Memory Recall

[Tom Boucher]

Can anyone throw any light on the following way in which my K3 has always behaved?

Using memories 00 - 09 as if they were band switches: Config: Mem 0-9 : Band Sel
Memories 00 - 09 are each set up on a frequency in each band using the V>M button.
Tap M>V button, then select a memory either by rotating VFO A or by tapping buttons 0 - 9, then tap M>V again.
Band is selected correctly but VFO A is locked up and won't change frequency until another button is pushed (e.g. Freq Ent, Fine or Rate)

It's not a major problem but am I doing something wrong?

Hi Tom:

I troubleshoot peculiar K3 occurrences in this order.
1. Operator error
2. Computer error
3. K3 error

It sounds like item 1 is ok. Move to item 2. Turn off any logging program or better yet disconnect the serial cable.

Sounds like you have a * in the first position of the name for that memory location.

Hi,

Don't hit the M>V button again! Band changes as soon as you hit the number button.
