[Elecraft] K3: Strange VFO Behavior

[Don Wilhelm]

There is no need to step to the incorrect band (but you do have to know 
which band is incorrect).  A direct frequency entry for the band that is 
incorrect alone is sufficient (the K3 will switch to the band where the 
direct frequency entry is located).

BTW, the K2 suffers from the same situation - you can twist the VFO knob 
and tune WAY out of the proper band - the frequency display will follow 
even though the VFO has long ago stopped changing frequency because it 
topped out.
