The manual says: "Set VFO A to the starting frequency, and VFO B to the ending frequency." This becomes tedious if I want to scan the entire 10-meter SSB segment; cranking VFO B to 29.700 takes forever. Is there a way I can use FREQ ENT to put 29.700 in VFO A, then transfer or copy that to VFO

Re: [Elecraft] Scanning

2020-02-28 Thread Wayne Burdick
No. Scanning proceeds from the VFO A frequency to the VFO B frequency, and is actually implemented only on the main receiver. This applies to the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3. The K4 will likely have additional scanning options, e.g. scanning separately on the two receivers. Wayne N6KR > On Feb 28, 2020,

There is a macro in the down loadable Programmer's Reference called SCANNOW that can make scanning simpler to use, especially for for fequencies that you use infrequently. You can also use the M-V and V-M to enter frequencies in the K3 memory for VFO A and VFO that you wish to recall more freq
