k3 band up/down skips transverter band

[zeke7237]

I'm getting ready to go out roving for the first time with a K3 as the IF
radio for my low bands (6-432). I've programmed in transverter bands 1-3,
but for some reason the rig skips 144 and goes to 222 on band up (and
similarly skips 144 and goes to 50 on the way back down). If I direct freq
enter a 144MHz frequency it correctly selects xv1, it just won't go there
with the band up/down.

Any ideas?

This is a guess, but there is a way to configure which bands are "mapped" by
the band switch up/down.  See CONFIG:BND MAP.
