[Elecraft] K3: Strange VFO Behavior

[John [K7SVV]]

I suppose I should have mentioned that if you do get yourself into this 
situation with the band sequence being screwed up, the change to the band 
sequence is permanent until you manually correct it.  In other words it 
won't go away by itself.  To get the bands back into the correct sequence 
you will have to step to the band that is incorrect and then, using FREQ 
ENT, enter a frequency that is in the correct band and then press A>B to set 
VFO B to the same frequency.  (e.g. If the slot in the sequence that 
normally has 40m actually has an incorrect 80m frequency, then step to that 
band entry,  press FREQ ENT, using the keypad enter a 40m frequency, press 
the AFX/ENTER button, and the press A>B.  Your band sequence should now be 
correct).  No big deal repairing the damage.
