[KX3] Lists of memories

[gareth.m5kvk]

I've recently assembled a KX3 kit and am getting to know it. One very nice
feature is the frequency memories.

There are a lot of memories. Has anybody thought about how to allocate
them, or even published a sample set that can then be modified for personal
use? This would make it easier to get going.

I was thinking of something along the lines of:
For each band, put in the CW calling, SSB calling, QRP equivalents, SOTA
equivalents and Data centre of activity.

If there is nothing, I may well have a go myself and publish it.

For the general purpose memories, I allocate five to each band:

CW: around the top of the Extra segment for VFO A, and
VFO B on the CW QRP watering hole for the band.

Data A: at PSK31 and JT65 frequency (VFO A / B).

SSB: near the lower edge of the segment (VFO A).
SSB: on the QRP frequency (VFO B).

Leave the fifth open or set it to a net frequency.

This doesn't work on all bands.  For example 30m doesn't offer SSB
operation.  Tailor the schema to suit the band (lots of CW and Data A
on 30m).  For 60m, each memory is set to the SSB suppressed carrier
freq (VFO A), and VFO B is set to the CW center frequency.

This layout uses up 75 to 80 memories.  I used a lot of the rest for
MARS and SWL frequencies, WWV and CHU.

Reserve five memories for test frequencies (49.38 MHz for example).

The per-band quick memories:  I use them as scratchpad / holding
registers like a poor man's band stack.  You could use these in a
similar manner to the above, but the recall key sequence is much
faster (RCL then 1 through 4).

Gareth and List,

For now, I'm using another model of memory radio.  What I've done is to
start with the lowest band and allocations first.. (example) 160 CW, 160
data, 160 JT65..... 80CW, 80QRP, 80 data, 60M SSB, 60M CW, and higher in
frequency.  I like having alphanumeric tags or labels for some of them.
Others may have different preferences, such as memory channel 1, 2 and so on
with emergency or favorite channels.

Whatever the radio, I recommend having the (memory and mode) programming
software and hardware for that radio.... makes it much easier.
