[Elecraft] K3 P3 and KAT500

[Matt Zilmer]

I think Stan said he was on 10m, not a transverter band.  If he has a 
transverter programmed in (maybe without his knowledge?)  10m would 
still be 10m and the xvtr band would be its own band.

I'm stumped. Waiting for Stan to reply to last email....

Someone thought it might be LOCKed, but that applies across all bands' 
VFO settings.

A and B act in quadrature (only one of them changes per "click") and the transitions are counted by a microcontroller (MCU).  The only limit on what frequency range you can dial to is the firmware inthe MCU.  The K3 allows receive from VLF (136 KHz) through 30 MHz, used without a transverter.
