K3 - Persistent channel hopping on a band

Is there a way to to make channel hopping persistent on a given band,
like 5 MHz? I can set it up and it works fine, even with the KPOD knob,
but if I go to another band and then come back, the memory channels have
reverted back to frequency. It's no big deal ... M>V, find channel 51,
M>V again, just wondering if I'm missing something. The manual tells me
how to get into channel hopping, it doesn't tell me how to keep it there
with a temp band change. Maybe that's because you can't do it?

An example of what you put in memory?

Skip,

Are all the memories for the channel hopping in adjacent memory
locations? Do you have an "*" in the beginning of the text field?

My channel hopping frequencies for 60 meters have been set up for years
and have not changed, and as you can imagine, I have changed bands many
times since I set it up.

Re: K3 - Persistent channel hopping on a band

Yes, and Yes, and when I do "M>V", look for memory channel 51, and then
"M>V" again, it all works as advertised. If I move to 30 meters, and
then come back, I have to do the above 3 step sequence to get back into
channel hopping. Manual says to cancel channel hopping by tapping RATE
or FINE, which works. But, if I change bands and then come back,
channel hopping is canceled even though I didn't tap RATE or FINE.

I don't believe this is a bug. What I was hoping for was to return to
channel hopping whenever I go to 5 MHz with the BAND button until I
cancel it like the manual says. I'm finding more CW Q's lately on the 5
MHz channels.

As I said, this is not worthy of a lot of effort, it would just be a
nice featurette.
