scanning

[Jack Colson]

I am unable to enable the scan function.  I have stored two frequencies
in memory locations 90 and 91.  According to the manual(version D4 page
40) simply depress M>V, hold scan button for 2 seconds and you will see
AF ON.  Well holding SCAN does nothing and  do not see the AF msg nor
SCAN.

This must be simple but it eludes me.  I am running the latest F/W
version 4.03.

Any thoughts?

Thank you,
73
Jack, W3TMZ

Jack, you are not trying to scan on six meters are you?  Six meter scanning is blocked to comply with a FCC reg to keep people from eaves dropping on cell phone conversations.  The possibility of getting this changed has been beat to death several times in the last couple of years so I hope we don't start that again.

As of firmware MCU 3.25 / DSP 2.21 six meter scanning has been
available. From the release notes:

* 6 METER SCANNING NO LONGER PROHIBITED. Scanning is limited
to the 6-m U.S. ham band (50-54). Exception: In some countries the K3 won’t
operate on 6 m at all.

You need to fully recall the memory into the VFO before hitting scan...

There is a macro in the down loadable Programmer's Reference called
SCANNOW that can make scanning simpler to use, especially for for
fequencies that you use infrequently.  You can also use the M-V and V-M
to enter frequencies in the K3 memory for VFO A and VFO that you wish to
recall more frequently.

I find that using M1-M4 as band segment memories works quite well for
me...  I'll use M1 as a CW band segment, M2 as an SSB band segment, M3
as a data modes segment...  

Then I can quickly recall them and start scanning that segment.  They
also make for a quick way to get where I want to be...  Say I'm on 20
SSB and want to get to 40 CW...  

M>V, 4, M>V, M1

4 button presses and I'm right where I want to be ready to go.
