I had sent this out earlier but I didn't receive it back so sending
it again.

Folks,
I'm at the final stages of readying a K3 for a friend. I've gone
through every thing I can think of to be sure it is working
perfectly. It has all the updates and upgrades available, and it
seemed to be working perfectly. That is, till I noticed the 60M is
not showing up when changing bands.
I have done the TX calibrations with the Utility and it calibrated at
5336 kHz TxGain LP, HP and at 1MW so its in the radio but when I
change bands it bypasses 5 MHz. From 1.60 MHz up it goes:
1.8
3.7
7
10
14
18
21
24
28
50
Using the MW calibration the Utility tested:
1900 kHz TxGain MW 08
3750 kHz TxGain MW 09
5336 kHz TxGain MW 16
7150 kHz TxGain MW 17
10125 kHz TxGain MW 16
14200 kHz TxGain MW 18
18110 kHz TxGain MW 26
21200 kHz TxGain MW 31
24930 kHz TxGain MW 34
29000 kHz TxGain MW 100
52000 kHz TxGain MW 77
I've never seen this before and looking at the manual, I see nothing
relating to turning off the 60 meter band or turning it back on. I
can manually enter a 5 MHz frequency but when I change bands, it
bypasses it again.
I must be missing some setting but scanning the manual, I see nothing
under bypassing 60 meters or bypassing 5 MHz.
Suggestions?
