What do you elecrafters think about this:

1. When you are running SPLIT ( assuming RIT & XIT are OFF), tapping CLR
puts the RX-VFO to the same frequency as the TX-VFO (TX). No one would
run SPLIT and use RIT and/or XIT simultaneously, would you?

2. Or, even better: When you are running SPLIT, tapping CLR puts your
RX-VFO a (config)-selectable number of +- khz (starting with 0 khz = no
SPLIT) offset to your TX-VFO. This ensures that  DXPeditioners or
Contesters easily can return to their announced qsx-freq.

Sorry for the bandwidth if there is already a method to accomplish this
in a similar way. I must have missed it then.

Actually Martin, I do use the RIT with the Split mode.  Here's why:

Some times when you're listening to the DX station, and other start transmitting on top of him, it's nice to RIT away from his beat Freq. up or down a little so that you can move the shift knob over +/- and get rid of those other people.  Or just improve the ability to hear a weak signal once you've used the "auto spot" feature.

 

Although you're idea isn't all that bad, assuming it's off..

Ok, so what about this:

A single-tap clears RIT if RIT is ON, does nothing if RIT is OFF;
double-tapping clears RIT (if ON)
*and* sets the RX-Vfo back to the configured offset.

With the next beta release, K3 users will be able to customize SPLIT  
operation, as well as many other functions. For example, you'll be  
able to define a single switch tap or hold that does:

    A>B/A>B
    SPLIT
    VFO B up 2 kHz (or any other amount)

It could even turn on the sub RX, enter diversity mode, set main and  
sub bandwidths, clear RIT, etc.

Details soon.
