Jim,

You can't use FREQ ENT if XVn RF is set to 0, because there's a regular K3 band (160 m) that "captures" that range. You got 490 kHz when you entered 0 using FREQ ENT because that the lowest the K3 can tune on 160 m.

If you just switch to your 10-MHz transverter band, then rotate the VFO, you should be able to get to the desired frequency.
