[K3] VFO A and B moving together

After a couple of hours in the manual, I give up. How come I have my K3
changing A and B with main A VFO control. I don't remember that happening.
Also, I notice that I can change the B VFO display with the B VFO knob - !
Bet I tapped a button by accident but can't determine which one and how to
turn it off. Thanks and sorry for the bother.

Tim you've accidentally put the K3 into LINKED mode by holding SUB. Hold SUB again to UNLINK.

Hold the SUB key to unlink the VFOs.

Thanks to all who told me how to unlink, and, yes, it is in the manual, I
just couldn't find it!

Re: [K3] VFO A and B moving together

Yes, that fixed it. The reason I didn't venture into the CONFIG menus is because I haven't been in there. I HAVE no idea how this got changed, but thank you for your help.
