The next beta version due to be released soon, does have a similar
feature to that found in your old 850. Unfortunately the K3 doesn't have
a V/M button like most radios (such as yours and my TS-480SAT), so it
will still require the memory contents saving to VFO before you can
transmit.

Wayne told me that the channel hopping memories will soon load all the attributes so you will be able to transmit from them without an extra step.

The regular memories already (in the latest beta) support "live" reception and will switch bands as appropriate. However I would have thought the clicking of relays as the radio switches from band to band would discourage anyone from actually scanning a set of memories in different bands.
