Wayne,
With the forthcoming KX3-2M module and operation on 2m-FM channels,
having memory freq. be locked in FM would be very handy for
portable/mobile operation. I wonder it that could be accomplished in
firmware when FM mode it added to the firmware. I am only suggesting
this for FM memory channels. One can always go to VFO if tuning the
FM freq. was desired. That was a feature that was much appreciated
in the FT-817 (one could lock the VFO and tune memories without fear
of bumping the knob).
A similar issue will be entering repeater pair frequencies and
subaudible tones (CTCSS), manually. So far with my K3 I have only
been able to enter new repeater pairs by using the utility (which is
easy), but the KX3 will see much port/mobile use where access to a
computer may not exist.
I am still waiting delivery of my KX3 so expect to be more familiar
with its operation once it has arrived.
