That would be "ReCalL REQuired".
Channel Hopping is different than Scanning. For Normal Scanning to work, you must enter a start and end frequency - except in the case of a Live Scan. Something is missing from your memory channel 17. Does it have an "*" in the label and is it adjacent to the other memory slots that you want to have in the Live Scan?

For Channel Hopping or Live Scan, you store the channels in memory with an "*" label as you have done. Then you do a memory recall for one of those channels. The KX3 will go to that channel. Use the VFO knob to hop from one channel to the next.

Are the channels with the (*) in adjacent memory slots? - that is a requirement. You must have a non "*" memory on either side of the hopping (or Live Scanning) group. Make certain the memory for the channel you start on has an "*" in the label.

I am trying to figure out what is causing RCL REQ to show up on the display
when I am trying to scan channels (channel hopping is what the manual calls
it) and not entering Scanning.
For example, I have 28 memory channels assigned with local 2 meter repeater
freqs. (*) prefix on the labels...

Turn radio on.
Vfo A selected.
Press and hold Band+/RCL.
That shows memory channel 17 flashing on the display.
Press and hold SCAN.
"RCL REQ" appears on the display for a few seconds, and the kx3 does not
begin scanning.

If I dial in *another* channel, then SCAN works. It seems weird that I have
to find a different men channel besides the one that first shows up?
What is "RCL REQ"?
