How to do RIT (sort of) with the "BIG" knob

[Ken Kopp]

Bill,

Am I missing something here .... ?

I can set ... and LOCK ...  a frequency in the main VFO A
knob / display and then move it to the VFO B knob / display
using the A/B button.  Then, by activating the SPLIT function
I think I have what you're suggesting.

This is the way I always operate.  The VFO B knob is too
easily bumped when poking at the SPOT and CWT buttons.
and the buttons to the right of the VFO A knob.

I've never used RIT on a radio ... reading the actual frequency
on the dial display saves the brain effort to figure out what the
"real' received frequency is. (:-))

Same here.  Now if Elecraft would just assign the RIT knob to the Main
knob,
when both Lock and RIT are enabled, you could use the main knob to tune
your
RX while TX freq is locked.  This would be really nice for running in
contests.  Piexx did this in their TS-930S digital board upgrade many
years
ago and I've suggested it to Elecraft.

Yes...it just takes more keystrokes, but there's another advantage for when we get the KRX3.  You might want to run on one frequency (using VFO A & RIT) and listen on another (VFO B).  If you assign RIT to VFO A and lock VFO A's TX, then you can use VFO A to tune on your run frequency and use VFO B to listen elsewhere.  So you can use BOTH big knobs for tuning the RX and never touch the dinky RIT knob.
