Nate,
The answer is in the Owner's Manual. Search for CONFIG:MEN 0-9
If the parameter is set to BAND SEL, frequency memories 0-9 (“quick memories”) will act like band switches. Once this mode has been selected, exit the menu, then use V > M to assign individual bands to keypad switches 0-9. For example, use BAND to get to 160 m, tap V M, then tap #1 . From then on, tapping M > V , then #1 , will take you to your last-used frequency on 160 m, just as if you had used the BAND switch.
The WWV frequencies are "within" the broader bands defined by the K3 - for example 15 MHz is in the 20 meter "band". If you do not like the current behavior, you can set CONFIG:MEM 0-9 to "nor" and store one frequency/mode for each band and they will not be updated with out of band frequencies. 73, ...

For easy band access, I am using the quick band memories laid out such that 1 is 160m to 0 is 6m excluding 60m. This gives an easy two tap band change. These occupy memory locations 00 to 09. For convenience I have entered the WWV frequencies into memory locations 90 to 94 (the 60m frequenciesoccupy 95 to 99). I found that when I choose certain WWV memories that certain quick band memories are changed to the WWV frequency so that the former in-band frequencies are lost. For example. Choosing memory 90 (2.5 MHz) results in both VFO A and VFO B frequencies being written to 2.5 MHz when I tap M>V then 1 (memory location 01). I found the same for 30m (WWV 10 MHz, quick band memory 4) and 20m (WWV 15 MHz quick band memory 5). If I had a choice, I would prefer that selecting a memory which has its programmed frequency outside the amateur band limits would not overwrite the quick band memories. In other words, in my case, selecting memory 90 would not set VFO A and VFO B to 2.5 MHz, as that is clearly beyond the 160m band edge. 30m and 10 MHz is somewhat less obvious, but I think 10.1 MHz is the lower limit for 30m worldwide. 15 MHz is also well beyond the upper edge of 20m and should not rewrite that quick band memory. Perhaps this is a difficult firmware change, and I'll just have to live with it. If not, I hope you can look into this, Wayne. 73, de Nate >>
