This is very confusing, Stan. Are you saying that if you tap BAND (up),
you move from 24 to 28.676 MHz and then can't dial VFO A down to 28.4?
Explanation of why this is confusing / strange / whatever: VFO A is
just an optical encoder with A/B outputs. A and B act in quadrature
(only one of them changes per "click") and the transitions are counted
by a microcontroller (MCU). The only limit on what frequency range you
can dial to is the firmware inthe MCU. The K3 allows receive from VLF
(136 KHz) through 30 MHz, used without a transverter.
Why don't you try direct frequency entry before any next steps. See if
you can enter 28.400 MHz. At least that will put you on freq. Then you
can memorize it using the V > M switch.
I wouldn't EE INIT the radio until all other options are exhausted. If
you decide to do that anyway, be sure and save your K3's configuration
first. You'll need to restore it after the "set defaults" is completed.

Thanks Matt. Nope all bands are set to In. I am unable to dial 28.400.
The band jumps from 24.842 to 28.676. Perhaps I should try dropping
everything down to default settings and see what happens?

BND MAP may be set to OFF for 10m on his K3. See p54 of the Owner's

28.400 is within the 10 meter band and your K3 should work just
fine there (Mine does)
That being said 28.4 may not be your best choice as it tends to be a
calling frequency of sorts and even though they may not hear you you
may hear them

Thanks for all the input.
I hope you aren't getting the impression that I am preparing to be a
loose
cannon. We regularly carry on sets in anticipation of the type of
emergencies the State is preparing for. Nonetheless my desire is to
have as
many options as possible available for our small community. We have
been
submitting grant proposals to upgrade our 2M equipment to be better
integrated into the ARES net system here. On the other hand our ARES
usually
also does check ins on 28.400 MHZ which is not open on my K3. Not
reasonable
at all, hence my hope to scale things up. Our ARES group has done
ARES/RACES
certification to qualify for participation. I'll touch in with our
club to
see where we are regarding our RACES commitment. In the mean time
also I'll
make contact on my own. Thanks.
