I programmed my Quick Memories to take me to frequencies in the CW part of each band, then M1 - M4 to take me to different parts of the band.
So after pressing M>V, 5 to take me to 15m (CW) I pressed M>V, M3 to go to a different part of the band. Only either I didn't press M>V hard enough so it didn't register, or I had a senior moment and didn't press it at all, so I transmitted the programmed contents of memory 3 at 100W into an untuned antenna. If you use the message memories then there is a risk of accidentally transmitting their contents if you are using the same buttons as per-band memories as well. ----- Julian, G4ILO K3 s/n: 222 K2 s/n: 392 G4ILO's Shack: www.g4ilo.com Zerobeat Ham Forums: www.zerobeat.net/smf -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/K3-Memories---Band-changing-etc.-tp17561737p17562868.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
