There are a few issues here:
1. With previous versions of firmware (MCU rev 1.78 and below), the
bands could be "messed up" by tuning manually from one band to the next
with the VFO. This was corrected in rev 1.88: now, if you tune cross
one of the K3's internal band boundaries (e.g., 6 MHz between 60 and 40
meters), the VFO you *weren't* tuning will be switched to its last-used
frequency in the new band.
2. We're considering a different tuning option (menu selectable, of
course) where tuning outside any ham band would spawn a "virtual SWL
Band" between the two bands. This would be saved across power cycles.
If you were in the virtual band, tapping band up or down would take you
to the last-used frequencies in the ham bands above and below. The
virtual band would persist until you tuned back out of it, up to a ham
band. (This method is used by at least one other rig -- the FT-817.)
3. When the subreceiver is installed, you'll be able to switch it to a
different band from the main RX/TX by going into BSET mode and using
band up/down (or direct frequency entry). The sub will stay on this
independent band until you go into BSET and "join" the sub back to
main.
At least that's the present thinking. We're open to suggestions.
