Hello group,

Hi Michael,
main VFO is always VFO A, sub VFO is always VFO B. But that is also indicated by the small A and B right on the display and the arrows inbetween. ;-)) 73, Olli - DH8BQA ----- Original Message ----- From: "DL5OCD" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2011 7:57 PM Subject: [Elecraft] K3: is it VFO A or B > Hello group, > > after years of using the K3 i have a simple question: > how do i see on the display of the K3 (not with help of remote software) if > i`m on VFO A or B ? > I`m still confused abt that..... > > 73 > Michael > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-is-it-VFO-A-or-B-tp6247010p6247010.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[hidden email] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Think the question may be more complicated than that.
The main RX is always on VFO A. The TX is always on VFO A unless operating SPLIT, in which case the TX is on VFO B If you have it, the Sub RX is always on VFO B, unless operating diversity mode, in which case the Sub RX is on VFO A. If you hit BSET the Sub RX is on VFO B until you toggle away from BSET, even in diversity mode. 73, Guy.

Hmmmm......
i have no SubRX. And the small "VFO knob" depends on the mode i selcted with the DISP button. Again: how do i see (like easily indicated on my K2`s and the Yeacomwoods) if i am on VFO a or B ? I would expect that the small arrow on the right side would stay at the selected VFO, but it doesn`t. 73 Michael |

VFO A is always primary. It is at the top of the display and as far as I
know, always shows your receive frequency. When you do VFOA/VFOB you are swapping the contents of the VFOs - not swapping their locations - in other words, you're not making VFO B primary - you're exchanging the contents of the two VFOs. If you have the VFOB knob showing the contents of VFOB, you then see both. VFO A at the top, VFO B on the bottom. This seems very clear to me - and yes, it's different from some other manufacturers, but so what? 73, Bob W5OV -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of DL5OCD Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 9:21 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: is it VFO A or B Hmmmm...... i have no SubRX.

Michael,
Maybe you are making it complicated. With no subRX, the K3 will transmit and receive using VFO A unless you put it into SPLIT, and then you will receive on the VFO A frequency but transmit on the VFO B frequency. If you want to exchange the frequencies in the two VFOs, tp the A/B button. 73, Don W3FPR On 4/11/2011 10:20 AM, DL5OCD wrote: > Hmmmm...... > > i have no SubRX.
