I think it is great to see your assessment because sometimes
it seems we do tend to focus less on the human factors and
usability issues.
In this case, however, it seems that the feature allowing recall
of Rx Ant selection by band plays at least a part. It is a great
enhancement, but does

trouble shooting section of the manual. On page 65 I found this
lovely section:

Hi All,
If there is a downside to the K3's size, the problem described in this
thread demonstrates that. The rig is small, and so is the display. So,
some of the displayed info gets overlooked easily. Still, there is a lot of
info shown on the display, but much of it is in fine print!
I have noticed that signals on 40 meters do not appear very strong on my
K3. The audio and signal strength is very low. Other hams in the area
hear signals S9 +5 while these only register S1 at best on the K3.
Antenna type and height are almost identical as I have.
Attenuator is not on and

Gene,
Do you have the correct antenna input selected? ANT1/2 if the KAT3 is
installed, or RX ANT if the KXV3 is installed. It sounds like you may
have the RX ANT selected rather than the main antenna. That is a
per-band setting, so it would only be a problem on one band.

Problems solved. I had RX on by mistake and only on 40.
Thanks to all that responded.

Dear Gene,
:))
Please note that at last count 98.91% of all K3 owners have pulled that
wrong antenna per band stunt on themselves and spent at least an hour
looking elsewhere for the problem. 95% of the 98.91 have done it twice. 90%
of the 95 have done it three times or more. 50% of the 90 have
Aside from the well known fact that 86.41% of the adult population makes
up their own statistics, I'm part of Guy's 98.91%. 30m was dead and
infinite SWR. Wayne called me, said Let's start with the easy part
... and everyone can finish the story. I've now done it twice on my K3,
second time
Besides, 87.4% of all statistics are made up.

Therefore, it is very likely you just made up that number 87.4%.
