K3 - scanning transverter frequencies

[Stewart Baker]

Having just completed a home brew 144MHz - 28MHz transverter, I
thought that I would set the K3 scanning to monitor repeater
output frequencies.

Although I have used scanning successfully on other bands, all I
get is "Scan N/A".

What am I doing wrong ?

How are you setting up the scanning? The way I usually like to do it is to program the main simplex and local repeater frequencies into memories, and then scan through those. But because you can't listen on memory frequencies as you tune through them, you can't scan through them either.

The trouble with using the VFO to scan a mixture of simplex and repeater is that you have got to remember to enable or disable the repeater shift before you PTT.
