K3 - Strange Mode Problem

[k6dgw]

This is going to have a very simple solution, and I'll feel very stupid
about it, but I can't get my K3 to go into LSB on 75m.  Freq is set to
3.800.000 MHz, and the radio works just fine, only cycling through the
modes gives me USB.  No problems on 40m or 20m.  I don't operate much
phone and it was on 80CW following the SSCW, I was working with N1MM in
anticipation of the SSPH coming up weekend after next.

Related question:  I don't seem to be able to select opposite sideband
on any of the other bands.  20m and down offer only USB.  Is my radio
broken, or is this a technical difficulty in my mind.

Fred,

Hold the left side of the MODE button to select the ALT mode.  That will
change the default sideband for that particular band.

The decision was made some time ago that cycling through LSB, USB, DATA,
DATA rev, CW, CW rev, AM, FM, etc. could be shortened considerably for
normal use by remembering the normal sideband for each band - of course,
you must select which will be your 'normal' sideband.  Set it as you
desire for each band.

On each band that has a phone allocation, use the BAND button to navigate to
that band, press the MODE key enough times to get into USB or LSB, and if
it's the wrong sideband for that band then HOLD the ALT key (the left side
of the Mode button) to switch to the other sideband. You should be able to
set up 80 and 40 for LSB and the remaining bands for USB and not have to do
this again.

See the firmware release notes associated with MCU firmware version 1.65.
