Im not asking for a K4. Im looking for a K3A upgrade. A larger case I can put the guts of my K3 in with a larger face(bigger screen and more buttons). This is not a completely new radio but a OPTIONAL upgrade to the K3 for those that want it. I understand a lot of people are happy with the size of

Brett, I think the K3 gets an undeserved bad rap for the menus. The main menu has only 13 items in it, and those are the items most likely to be changed during operation. Assigning these menu items to buttons might make sense in some instances, but I don't change mics very often, nor do I

Tom, If what you want is two fixed frequencies on each band for instant recall, try using CONFIG: MEM 0-9 set to NOR. Store the desired frequencies for each band in memory locations 0 thru 9. Tapping MV and then the button for that band will bring up the two pre-set frequencies. If CONFIG:

Tom, I programmed the M1 through M4 buttons for bandwidth instead of using the rotary knob. Much better for CW. You can recall the default bandwidth for each roofing filter by using the XFIL button. If you then used PF1/PF2 for two other bandwidths you would not tie up M1 - M4. It would

Maybe naming the thread Big Box K3 was a mistake. I should have called it the K3Pro or + or Field. The idea was to explore what might happen if a K3+ included a built in power supply, amplifier, P3, speaker etc. And as a result of the bigger box, larger knobs and buttons. It's the

Correction ... MV hold M1-M4 are not available for per band memories. However, you can program M1-M4 for your bandwidth (selectivity) macros and still use VM M1-M4/MV M1-M4 for the per band memories. There is no need to give up the four selectivity settings - but you can also store selectivity
