While playing with my K3, I selected 5.0 mHZ for WWV using manual Freq 
ENT. When I then changed bands with the rocker switch the bands would go 
from 80m to 5.0 to 40m. I vaguely remember seeing one of the 60m freq 
5403.5 when I first fired up the rig back in March. Did I inadvertently 
erase the 60m channels or were they never there? I looked thru the 
manual but could only find on page 37 how to set up Channel Hopping. Are 
programmed memory freqs how we access 60m?
I then manually programmed the 60m freq into Memory 1-5 and included the 
* for channel hopping...however, the M>V did not work to save the 
freq..so then I went to page 16 and programmed the memories via V>M. So 
now I have the 5 60m freq in memories 1 thru 5. When I try to start 
scanning (Channel hopping) by holding 'Scan', I get "Set A/B" on the 
lower LCD. I tried to put 5330.5 in A and 5403.5 in B and press 'SCAN'. 
Then it said M>V req.  I set memory 1 to 5330.5 and B vfo was 5403.5..So 
I followed the instructions of M>V and set #1 memory and tried 'SCAN' 
agn...this time the B vfo defaulted to 5.000 mHZ....ok, I give up...what 
am I missing?
