[Elecraft] *****POSSIBLE SPAM***** Re: [K3] General coverage hijacks ham band

[Scott Manthe]

I solve this problem by entering a ham frequency after listening to a 
general coverage frequency.

It takes about 2 seconds to do and solves the problem completely. So, 
after I'm done listening to AM720, I simply enter 1.8mhz on that VFO and 
all is well.
