rounding off. It will be interesting to note what others find.

I know I started this thread, but it has gone way off topic. I merely was

I purchased K3 #696 from an estate. It works fine, even after I did
the mods, except the M3 and M4 memory buttons need to be pushed hard,
rather than tapped. (As we say in the South, this button needs to be
mashed!). They work, but it's not a simple tap, so they are not
convenient to use.

I think that actually may not be the intended behavior. I used a 15-pin

pin in their interconnect cable, because the PWR ON features of

The odd frequency limits appear to be related only to changing
between fixed and tracking modes. When switching from tracking
to fixed, the display frequency limits are fixed at the odd
values based on (VFO A +/- span/2) instead of being forced to the
correct round (5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 KHz)
QSY to 28275.32 per Wayne's request.

Yes. The KPA500 works on all frequencies between 1.8 and 54 MHz except for
