Hi Tom

The next beta version due to be released soon, does have a similar
feature to that found in your old 850. Unfortunately the K3 doesn't have
a V/M button like most radios (such as yours and my TS-480SAT), so it
will still require the memory contents saving to VFO before you can
transmit.

I'm sure that Wayne/Lyle are not looking for additions to the
"wish-list" at this late stage, however.....my dear old TS850 has the
ability to scan or frequency-hop across a number of channels on all
bands. I find this a very useful feature when I am in my shack working
on something else as I can keep an ear on all the HF bands to see if
there is any activity. The TS-850 is set to hop from 1830 to 3525 to
7025 to 10120 to 14025 and so on. The K3 can only hop between channels
in the same band. Anyone else find this a useful feature?
