K3 prog XV2 for 222-MHz

Edward R Cole
Strange situation has occurred while using K3 Memory Editor to load
memory frequencies for the 222-MHz xvtr.

Under CONFIG I turned on XV2 and add 222 and 28 for RF and IF and
0.10 for XV2 PWR and TRN2 but I get 22.xxx in the memory locations
instead of taking the 222.xxx frequencies I entered.  The K3 tries to
transmit on 22-MHz with obvious out of band error.

Now if I use "BAND-UP" I can go to 222.xxx and it is using the last
entered frequency and xvtr settings?

But when I change memory selection using "M>V" it selects 22.xxx in
the memory locations that I entered my 222 frequencies.  I have no
problem going to 2m or 1296 memory locations with "M>V"

OK there are two ways to fool a K3, so I direct enter my chosen
frequency and use "V>M" and it takes the 222.xxx frequency and xvtr
settings.  Then I run into the problem of setting a repeater split
which has to use the Memory Utility for programing.  OK I fool the K3
again by reading the K3 to the Memory Utility and changing the
repeater offset and then reading back to the K3.  It only took me
40-minutes to make three channel entries for 222-MHz.

BTW the Memory Utility does not work for single entries and I have to
do a full read of all memory channels each time. Is there a bug?
