K3 Operating Tip: How to do RIT (sortof) with the "BIG" knob

[Greg - AB7R]

For those who would like to use the large VFO A knob as if it were RIT,
there's
a setup just for you.

Once you have your base frequency (or RUN frequency in a contest) TAP A>B to
send the VFO A frequency to VFO B.  Then place the K3 into SPLIT mode.  Your
TX frequency will not change, but now you can tune your RX frequency with
the
VFO A knob to tune in those stations calling who are slightly off frequency.

In the CONFIG menu there's also a B>A function that you can assign to one
of the programable buttons.  This feature allows you to pick up your TX
frequency from VFO B to match your RX frequency on VFO A.

For me it's not like doing "sort of" RIT with the big knob, it makes RIT
unnecessary.

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.
