KX3 - Mode switch skips AM

jh3sif
Hello,

Tapping MODE switch on my KX3 with MCU 02.90, most latest firmware, switches mode from SSB -> CW -> FM, then back to SSB. It does skips AM.
I have not switched to AM for long time. I think I was able to select AM by tapping MODE before.
I went through KX3 Owner’s Manual to look for any configuration to skip any specific mode, but found none.
Sending “MD5;” from KX3 utility software switches KX3 to AM mode. So MPU is OK on selecting a mode except switching the mode by MODE switch.
I restored my KX3 configuration backed up almost 6 months ago, but the symptom is same. Then I reloaded the latest firmware to my KX3, but the same result.

Have anyone experienced the similar problem?
Your though on any possible cause are welcome.

73 de JH3SIF, Keith

Correction as below;

Tapping MODE switch on my KX3 with MCU 02.90, most latest firmware, switches mode from SSB -> CW -> FM -> FM, then back to SSB. It does skips AM.

Many thanks, Don.
Now AM mode came back. But I do not remember when I set AM MODE OFF.
