K3 keypad freq entry curiosity

[John - N0EVH]

I was in the middle of making a freq change on 40 meters when a loud signal came on so I grabbed the AF gain and found out that it will not work until after one has completed entry of the freq and tapped the AFX button.

Not a big deal as this is the first time in two years of hard use that the situation has ever occurred.

You are absolutely right. The RF gain doesn't work in frequency entry mode either. Curiously the 4 little encoder knobs do. You can change bandwidth, mic gain and compression freely. I think it's important that the AF gain always works, so this ought to be fixed. I have had mine for two years and never noticed this.
