K3 Sub-receiver RIT

If you have a K-Pod it is just as easy to tune with VFO B while running on
A. Is the issue the way the P3 is used to move in on a signal? I have K-Pod
buttons to turn RIT on and off and also to clear the offset.

promising signals. However, I sometimes wish the RIT would work with the
sub-receiver on VFO B. Has anyone found a way to do this? Even better
would be to have RIT on VFO B and XIT on VFO A.

If it's not currently possible, I'd add it to my firmware wish list.

Yes, that is exactly the issue. When unassisted, using the P3 is the
best method I've found for finding new contacts. However, the span has
to be 10 kHz, or it's too hard to resolve cw signals. (I know, I could
add a VGA display.) Other than the RIT issue, running on VFO B and the
sub rx works well.

If there were a setting, say, to make the RIT apply to VFO B only when
the sub was on, the problem would be solved.

John,
the issue with SO2V is that you want to stay on your run frequency, but
be able to slightly tune up and down to hear callers which are not
exactly on your TX freq. RIT comes in handy here, as you just press RIT
or CLR after the QSO is finished. I don't have a K-POD, but if it would
let me do this stuff I'd consider buying one.

Gernot,

If you have the subRX, why not tune to listen for those off-frequency
stations with the VFO B knob.  Your transmit frequency is unchanged on
VFO A, so no need for RIT unless you are only listening to the mainRX.

An easy VFO A>B pushbutton will put VFO on the same frequency as VFO A
anytime you change your transmit frequency.

You have to integrate SO2V operation with the logging software. If you
just switch VFO's, you have to switch back to run mode when you go back
to the run frequency. Any small delay improves the chances you'll miss a
contact or lose the frequency, so it has to be very fast. With the
software I use, ctl-right arrow switches both tx and rx to VFO B, and
moves to the VFO B logging window. Ctl-left arrow switches back to VFO
A. There's no issue with using RIT when running on A and searching with
B, but then the P3 can't be used to find new signals more than 10 kHz
from the run frequency. Running on B solves that problem, but then
there's no RIT when running.

Actually, while RIT on the search and pounce VFO is most important, XIT
is more useful when running. The ideal SO2V radio would allow RIT on B
and XIT on A, automatically switching with the logging software.
