Frequency Memories
The K3 has 100 general-purpose memories (00-99),
plus up to 80 per-band memories (M1-M4 on each
of 11 regular bands and 9 transverter bands). Each
memory holds VFO A and B frequencies, modes,
filter presets, antenna selection, and other settings.
Memories can have a text label of up to 5 characters
(A-Z, 0-9, and various symbols). For example, you
might want to label memories associated with nets,
callsigns of broadcast stations, or your favorite
scanning ranges.
To store a general-purpose memory (00-99):
First tap V M (VFO to Memory), then locate the
desired memory using the VFO A knob. The VFO
A frequencies stored in each memory will be shown
as you scroll through them. When you reach the
desired memory number, tap V M again to store,
or tap M V to cancel the operation.
To recall a general-purpose memory:Tap
M V , then select memory 00-99 using VFO A.
Tap M V again to confirm, or V M to cancel.
Memories 00-09 are quick memories, accessible
with just two switch taps. These could be used to
get to a startingpoint in each of 10 ham bands.
Memories M1 –M4 are per-band quick memories.
For example, you might set up M1 for each band’s
CW segment, M2 for the SSB segment, etc.
To store or recall quick memories: Tap V M
or M V as before, but instead of rotating VFO A,
tap 0 - 9 or M1 - M4 .
To erase one or more memories: While scrolling
through memories to save or recall, tap C LR . Not
applicable to per-band quick memories (M1 -M4 ).
To add or change a memory’s text label: First tap
M V , then select a memory (00-99) using VFO
A. Next, rotate VFO B to select each label position
in turn as indicated by the flashing cursor. Use VFO
A to change characters. After editing, tap M V
again. (Labels can be edited at any time, including
when you initially store a memory using V M .)
An asterisk (*) at the beginning of a label
designates a channel-hopping memory (pg. 39).
Digital Voice/Audio Recorder
Two switches are dedicated to the DVR (KDVR3
option).
AF R EC Start / stop audio record
AF PL AY Start / stop audio playback

The DVR is also used for message record and play
in voice modes (pg. 29).
Message Record/Play Controls
Five switches provide record andplayback of
outgoingmessages: M1 , M2 , M3 , M4 and REC .
These switches provide single-tap play, hold-to-
repeat, and other functions that are convenient for
contests and for sending often-repeated text or
voice messages during QSOs.
For details on CW message record/play, see pg. 30.
The same messages can be used with CW-to-DATA
(pg. 34). For voice message record/play, see Digital
Voice Recorder (pg. 29).
M1 through M4 can alternatively be used as tap
or hold programmable function switches (pg. 21).
