FT1000-like VFO behavior on the K3

[Jeff Kinzli N6GQ]

On the FT1000, you can have VFO A in your left ear, and VFO B in your
right ear, and vary the amplitude, or weight, of both with a knob
(they call it "RF Mix"). This is very nice for operating split on 40M,
for example, as a DX station, transmitting around 7075 and listening
in the US phone band, as well as on the TX frequency. You can hear
both frequencies at the same time, and have, for example, your TX
frequency "louder" than your receive frequency.

I believe the K3 second receiver is required to hear both VFOs at the
same time, but is that variable amplitude between VFOs possible with
the K3?

Thanks,

Jeff N6GQ
(taking delivery of my K3 this week, I hope!)

Each receiver has its own AF Gain control, so you get the same effect.
