Don, Memories: I'm tapping and not holding as far as I can tell, but I'll play with it some more.
Regarding the contents of the VFOs: I'm not trying to operate cross band but instead just have one VFO on one band, and the other on a different band and just switch back and forth between them as single operating frequencies using A/B. I now see that when I change frequency on VFOA, VFOB also changes to some frequency in the same band as VFO A. Band up and band down moves both VFOs also. This linked VFO behavior strikes me as "unusual".

Bob, Independent bands is not yet available in the firmware. I know it is being addressed for the sub-receiver, but I am not certain about the possibility for cross-band operation with only the main receiver installed. When you try to store a memory, how long is your 'hit' on the V>M button? (it should be a TAP) Watch the VFO B area, and if you see "NO DVR" flash there, you are 'holding' the button instead of 'tapping' it. There should be no problem storing into an empty memory location. Yes, when a memory is recalled, both the VFO A and VFO B contents from that memory are recalled - that is normal behavior. 73, Don W3FPR Robert Naumann wrote: > I've only had my K3 for a little over a week.
