Direct Frequency Entry obviates the need to even touch the main dial, much less
crank it.

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
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.

Am I correct in deducing that scanning requires the sub receiver?

Gee, now if I could make that point to stop on CW mode inside my

thanks all
If you narrow your filter it may stop closer to that sweet spot? Or maybe it
won't stop at all; you'll have to experiment.

Howdy K3' people:
I was sittin' here, doing something else, and wanted to scan 10.120
down to 10.101 for CQ'ing on CW .. and then I'd call them.
So I set one freq in memory 99 and the other in mem 98; pressed A-B;
the other mem back into A, then 'Scan.
I got the scan but it stopped at the

There's actually a variable in the source code called scanWorthy that

And I agree w/ NT6Y - it is impressive.

Hi All,
I've been gathering information on the scanning feature of the KX3 (not an
owner..yet - VERY tempting).
I have the basics - VFO scan, channel hopping, live scan, muted scan, the
rules for channel hopping.
I found this:
Scanning while muted (normal scanning mode)
allows the K3 to
Scanning while muted (normal scanning mode)
allows the K3 to ignore stable carriers, unmuting
only when interesting signals are found.
If the signal appears to be an unmodulated carrier, i.e. with little amplitude
variation over a period of about 1 second, then it is skipped. Noise can fool
I think that a step is missing from the manual. To Scan one must first do
what the manual describes. Once you have held the SCAN button the display
shows your VFO A and VFO B settings, to start scanning you must hold the
SCAN button once more. From this point, the manual picks up again with the
A few questions about scanning...
I would like to be able to scan and channel hop frequencies segments that
span several bands. It seems this is not allowed by the K3 using just the
buttons, but is it possible to do this via programming a macro using /MC/?
If so what is the optimal way to do it?
I am unable to enable the scan function. I have stored two frequencies
in memory locations 90 and 91. According to the manual(version D4 page
40) simply depress MV, hold scan button for 2 seconds and you will see
AF ON. Well holding SCAN does nothing and do not see the AF msg nor
SCAN.

You need to fully recall the memory into the VFO before hitting scan...

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
I find that using M1-M4 as band segment memories works quite well for
me... I'll use M1 as a CW band segment, M2 as an SSB band segment, M3
as a data modes segment...
Then I can quickly recall them and start scanning that segment. They
also make for a quick way to get where I want to be...
My interpretation is that my K3 is part of the equipment at an
FCC licensed station, and is exempt from the regulation.
My 756ProIII and my IC-706 scan perfectly well on 6m right out of the box.

Anyone who knows when it will be possible?
In Sweden there is no problem with scanning above 30 MHz!

When scanning cw or ssb, when the scan encounters a signal is it up to the
operator to tune in the ssb signal when the scan pauses? Can it be
programmed to stop the scan exactly on a readable ssb signal?

On the K2, is it possible to SCAN without filling a memory? It's neat
being able to hold RCL and hold 4 to scan 40m or whatever, but on
occasions when I've wanted to scan a different section of a band, it
seems a shame to fill a memory, especially when there's only 10 of them

When I'm using my scan function on 40M, it just
