[K3] I can't unlock the split VFO

[RobertG]

This K3 doesn't have a sub-receiver. Somehow, VFO's A&B have become
locked, and I can't unlock them. Poured over the manual for an hour with
no joy. Directions appreciated. Thanks.

Config menu, go to VFO LNK, move VFO A to cycle between ON/OFF

You can press and hold a programmable butoon as a shortcut.

I use Link when chasing expeditions with vfo B set 5kc up on ssb so a simple press of the split button has my TX freq up 5.

Thanks to all. The Elecraft community is the best.

NR4C had the secret answer. VFO LINK in the Config menu was "ON."
Toggling it OFF unlinked the A/B VFO. As Bill points out, previous FW
revisions could lock/unlock the two VFOs by holding the SUB button.
That's been removed in the current FW. I remember locking them in the
past, but no can do directly anymore. A macro is the only way to
automate the linkage. Again, thanks to all who responded.
