[Elecraft] K3 + transverter

[Ken_ke2n]

>>Try hitting A>B twice after setting up the CONFIG:XVn RF menu entry.

Thanks Eric, but that is not the problem - (by after I assume you mean after
leaving the config menu)

I have both VFO's on 216.987 (more or less) but when I try to retrieve a
value from the memory like 216.(anything) it forces the active VFO to
219.9992 (in USB).

That seems to be the lower limit of what the K3 finds "acceptable" for a
RF=222 transverter when the frequency is entered all at once (memory or
keypad+enterkey)

So it looks like there is a lower limit of 2 Mhz below the transverter
frequency.*
See my other note. My fictitious 215/21 MHz transverter lets me use
frequencies down to 212.999 - not lower.  The magic 2 MHz limit again.

The problem I am having with recalling a frequency now is that the K3 thinks
the 216.987 frequency belongs to my transverter #3 (the real 222
transverter) and automatically switches to that band - and of course with
that transverter defined as a 222 transverter, it will not accept the
frequency.  

I think maybe I need to insert the fictitious one as transverter #3 and
re-enter all the other ones up through 8.  But that is too much of a pain
since I only need two frequencies I am happy with what is memorized in vfo A
and B.

* I just thought it was really strange that I could tune the radio to that
frequency, memorize it OK and then find that the radio refuses to use the
stored frequency later ...
