Fred and all,

I have observed what you found.  On Channel Hopping, VFO A follows the 
hop to the next channel, but VFO B does not.

While a "fix" may be coming sometime, it is not likely to be coming 
soon.  So I propose a workaround.

The simple solution is to set 10 channel hopping memories instead of 
only 5.  5 for SSB/DATA and 5 more for CW.  I doubt that you are using 
all 100 memory slots in the K3.

Arrange them any way you want - each CW memory next to the SSB memory, 
or go through all 5 SSB memories and then the next 5 are CW.  Put some 
identifier in the label so you can see which is which without referring 
to the frequency.

73,
Don W3FPR
