This began as a simple question, I can't understand why it is so hard to
explain: K3 frequency memories hold frequency, mode, and DSP BW for
both VFO A and VFO B. I used the K3 Frequency Editor to load the CW
parameters into VFO A and USB parameters into VFO B in 5 consecutive
memory channels. Those 5 are "ganged together" with an "*" in the name,
IIRC.
When I rotate the Big Knob, I expected the VFO's to rotate through the
channels [end-around]. VFO A does, but VFO B does not follow, it
remains on whatever channel I originally selected.
The sequence M>V, Select memory, M>V sets both VFO's to the parameters
stored in that memory, as one would expect. Selecting a new memory with
the BK should load the parameters for that memory into both VFO's, or so
it would seem. It does for VFO A. It doesn't for VFO B. My question
was, "Is this a bug or intentional behavior?" If it's intentional, I'd
be curious what the use case is for that behavior. I'm also aware this
is a K3 question and likely to get lost in all the K4 commotion.

While you can scan or dial through VFO A, once you "land" on a particular
channel, the VFO B frequency and mode associated with that channel is
available by using the VFO A/B button.
I originally loaded the 60m CW frequencies in VFO A for my 60m channels
since I'm more likely to use them working SOTA activators. However, I
usually scan the SSB channels. Thus, I swapped between VFO A and B so I can
scan USB channels and select the appropriate VFO B CW channels when needed.
This comes in handy when someone suggests 60m for USB or when I see a SOTA
dude spotted on 60m CW.
73, Bill, K8TE, waiting "patiently" to return home and start using HF again!
