K3 and split mode
Locked

W9AC:
>Agreed, Bill. On other transceivers, I really do not need a second Rx as long as separate b/w can be assigned to each VFO. I think a good op can manipulate the VFOs every bit as effectively as one with two Rx -- and I am by no means a great DX op. You can also lock VFO A independently of B so that you don't accidentally move off the DX station. If I recall correctly, the TS-930S would lock both A and B when you did this. Also you can have different roofing filters on A and B (which track the WIDTH setting of the DSP), so you can listen on VFO A for the DX station with a 200 Hz filter and tune the pileup with the 2.7k filter. If I recall correctly the K2 worked similarly...and much of the K2's excellent ergonomic legacy is carried over to the K3. It's so nice to have a rig designed by people who actually use it and who are very receptive to user inputs. 73, Bill W4ZV _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [hidden email] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

The one thing I would like is to be able to flip which knob controls VFOB.
So I can tune the QSX freq with the larger knob. I don't want to change anything else around that - that is, I want to keep VFOA as A and B as B and transmit on B freq. Yes, I know I can flip A/B, tune and then flip back, but I'd prefer not to. However, it's something possibly for the future and I don't want it to detract from all the other work Wayne/Eric, et,al are doing.

What I described previously allows you to tune QSX with the large knob. Touch REV and, while depressing it, tune the large knob to the QSX frequency. Release REV it to listen on the DX frequency. With a little practice you can do this with one hand. I normally use my left index finger to depress REV and my pinky tunes the large VFO knob. Been doing this since 1984 with the TS-930S so it's second nature to me now. 73, Bill |

Hmmm - didn't realise I could tune while doing that - don't find it very
convenient, but it works. Thanks Bill.
