M1 - M4 per band quick memories

Just got my K3S yesterday and spent most of the night setting up the
menu and config selections. On Page 16 of the manual, it states that M1
- M4 can be used as "per band" memories that can be used to set up CW
and SSB frequencies for each band. Unfortunately, I can't find more
detail on this as I scan the manual. Can someone help with the procedure
to establish M1 - M4 mode specific memories with a band?

Also, my K3S Config menu does not have a BAT MIN position. Has it been
removed from the Config Menu system?

Lots to learn.

Re: M1 - M4 per band quick memories

Charles,

I believe it’s pretty simple: Go wherever you want on a particular band, set the mode you want memorized, press V>M, and then press the M1, M2, M3, or M4 memory bank you want it held in.

To go back there, get on the proper band, press M>V, then whatever memory (M1…) you want.

Re: M1 - M4 per band quick memories

Hi Charles,

Per-Band Memories
Each of the M1 – M4 memories can be used on each of the bands to store information. For example, on 20 meters you might program M1 to 14.000.00 CW, M2 to 14.070.00 DATA, M3 to 14.150.00 USB, and M4 to your favorite 20 meter net frequency. Because these are per-band memories, you can use M1 – M4 again on other bands.
Storing a Per-Band Memory
1. Set VFO A and VFO B frequencies and other information to be stored (CW, SSB, antenna, pre-amp, attenuator settings, etc.).
2. Tap V>M and then tap M1 – M4.
Recalling a Per-Band Memory
1. Tap M>V and then tap M1 – M4.
Erasing a Memory
1. Select the memory to be erased by tapping V>M and rotating VFO A to the memory to be cleared and then tapping CLR. You cannot clear the M1 – M4 quick memories this way. These can only be reprogrammed.

Hi Charles,

You can easily program the buttons as described in other responses to your post. You can also use the Memory Editor program from your PC. I enjoy using the program because it is fast and it presents all of the data in a nice spreadsheet-like format. It also saves the data in a file. And the help feature really goes into detail about how to use the K3 memory features.
