KX3 memory - odd behavior with RCL

[Thorpe, Jeffrey]

Does anyone else notice this:

I hold RCL, dial VFO A to select the memory I want, then tap any key to exit.
Everything looks ok, until I try to tune VFO A, but instead of normal tuning, it rotates through the memory channels again, but only within the same band I started out in. (My memories are all in sequential order of frequency, so I don't know if it would 'hop' over any if they weren't sequential.)

VFO A won't go back to normal tuning until I've tapped Band+ or -.

Jeff,

Do you have an "*" in the text field of those memories?
If so, that is the indicator that those memories are to be used for
channel hopping, and behavior will be exactly as you have described.

Guess I misunderstood how channel hopping worked, not ever having tried to use it before. Looks like I've been unintentionally using it.
Thanks Don.

Good lesson: read Fred Cady's book carefully when puzzled. It was in there. I just needed to pay better attention.
