Julian, Dave, Tony:

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. The K3 lets you 
designate any number of variable-length blocks of channelized frequency 
memories, then use VFO A to instantly hop among them. You can also do 
channel-hop scanning within one of these blocks.

For example, I have memories 61-65 set up as a channel block for the 
five U.S. 60-m frequencies. From any band, I can simply recall one of 
these memories, and the VFO becomes a "channel" control, just as if the 
rig were crystal-controlled.

Similarly, I have a block set up for 2-m repeaters, etc.

Am I missing something?

If so, feel free to explain exactly how you'd like the K3 to function 
in this regard. The present method is simple and easy to use, but I'm 
open to other suggestions.

This is all described in the Owner's Manual (page 39). See "Channel 
Hopping."
