Nick-WA5BDU mentioned putting CW freqs in VFO A and SSB freqs in VFO B 
using Dick's K3 Frequency Memory Editor.  I had done that, but didn't 
realize that a "*" at the head of the name allows me to "tune the band," 
channel hopping with The Big Knob.  It just cycles through the channels. 
  Unfortunately, it doesn't take VFO B with it ... maybe in a future update?

So, I did M>V twice for Channel 1 and sure enough, 5332.0 showed up in 
VFO A and 5330.5 in VFO B.  Then, looking at the P3, there is VFO B with 
upper sideband shaded, and right in the middle of the USB passband is 
VFO A.  I took this as a good sign and called CQ for awhile on CW.  No 
answer, but I'll try again later today.

I really like this radio!
