I have had my 2-meter option board installed in my KX3 for almost six months but I am just now beginning to set it up and use it.
I discovered a small foible in using the memory recall feature which I have not used prior to this work with 2-meters. I am wondering
if this is correct behavior or a small “bug”.
To Recall a stored frequency setting from memory, the instructions are to do the following:
1. Hold RCL
2. Use VFO A to select desired memory location.
3. Hit any button to exit.
So, this works — as long as you purposely execute step (2) by actually moving the VFO A. That is, when I execute hold RCL and if the desired memory location is already selected and displayed, and if I then just hit any button to exit then that memory location is NOT recalled. In order to recall I do have to move VFO A off of that desired memory location and then back to it again before hitting “any” key to exit and thus setting the VFO to my desired frequency.
Is this right? I would prefer that if I was already positioned on the desired memory location that I could skip step (2) and just hit a key to exit. It seems more logical that way. Now, if I wanted to exit without actually making a selection then I can see a problem. In this case, I think it would be better to have the memory recall selection confirmation be by specific key such as hitting the Band+ key (same as RCL without the hold) to make a positive explicit selection and any other key would exit without making a selection. This seems to be a better way to operate (ALTM — at least to me).
