Don,
Thank you for your excellent advice (as always).
I am aware of the other methods of jumping to the ham bands, i.e. direct
frequency entry and setting up memory pushbuttons. I merely wanted to know
what I could do about the band switch itself, and you gave me a satisfactory
answer to my question.
Best Regards and 73,

John,
That behavior will be corrected, I know it is on the list. I recall that there has
been discussion about just where inside the ham band the band button will
place the K3 - i.e. if you tune out of the band at the bottom end, return to the
lowest frequency in the band? if you tune out the top of the ham band, then do
you return to the top of the band? Or should it return someplace else -
everyone will of course have their favorite answer on this one.
Until it is settled and is coded into firmware, Direct Frequency Entry will get you
back into the ham band. If you have set up a memory for the ham band in
question, a tap of the M>V button will do it - both these solutions are easier
than twisting the VFO knob until it is back in the ham band.

Question for the list:
On my K3 (SN 820) I have noticed that if I tune to frequencies between the ham
bands (e.g. WWV frequencies), these frequencies then show up when I step the
band switch up and down. Is there a way to delete this out-of-the-ham-band
clutter from the band switch's operation?
My K3 still has the version 1.78 control firmware that it came with.
