K2 XIT

[Chris G3SJJ]

With XIT selected, should the readout indicate a difference in transmit
frequency when the knob is turned? Readout on my K2 varies when RIT or
RIT/XIT is selected but not when XIT is selected.

I recently called 2 stations split using XIT and found I was on their Rx
freq. Very embarrassing, but strangely doesn't seem to be doing it now
yet the readout is as above. I definitely had XIT on at the time.

K2/100/160/SSB 5545 bought at Dayton this year, all working well except
for this.

Chris,
What you are seeing is correct. Only when you go onto transmit will you see the
effect of the XIT on the frequency readout. If you want to know exactly what
frequency you will be transmitting on with XIT selected then you can select the
RIT as well. Of course you need to deselect the RIT to listen on your original
frequency. Hope this helps..

Chris,

hen the K2 is in receive, the receive frequency only is displayed.  In
transmit, the transmit frequency is displayed (hard to see during keying).
Check the K2 manual page 94 for information on how RIT and XIT work - when
XIT is on, you can see the transmit frequency during receive by also turning
on RIT.

I prefer to jusst use split all the time - it better matches my thinking - I
find I can get confused with all the combinations, especially when trying to
operate quickly.
