[K3] Locking VFO B

I seem to recall that there was a way to lock the K3's VFO B without
locking VFO A. Am I imagining this, or is it possible?

Re: [K3] Locking VFO B

Long press A/B (BSET) and then long press RATE (Lock)

Re: [K3] Locking VFO B

That's what I thought. But I got a response like this: [MAIN], and it
didn't do anything.

Maybe the fact that I was in diversity at the time had something to do
with it. I'll turn off diversity and try it again.

Re: [K3] Locking VFO B

Yep, looks like that’s either a bug or a feature. When in diversity mode and BSET using LOCK gives the same response as RX ANT. Maybe what it’s trying to say is that you can’t lock B because it is already “locked” to VFO A .

Still doesn't work!
When I turn off diversity or the subrx or split, it says "N/A".
Maybe I'm dreaming, but it seems that I once did this.
