I am probably doing something wrong, but I cannot find any reference to
the following issue in the K3 manual.

It seems that if one tunes to a non-ham band (general coverage) frequency
(I used numerical direct frequency entry), the ham band closest to the
target frequency now assumes the targeted general coverage frequency.

For example, I was on 40m and wanted to check a local broadcast AM station
at 1100 KHz. I entered "1.100" via the "FREQ ENT" button, and the radio
tuned to 1100 KHz as expected. However, now when I cycle through the ham
bands, the 160 meter slot is set to 1.100 Mhz instead of 1.8XX MHz.

Is this the way it is supposed to work? It's a bit of a deterrent to use
the KBPF3 to explore general coverage frequencies if a ham band gets
hijacked as a result.
