K3 link vfo (bug or feature?)

[alsopb]

Guys,

I've been playing around with the link VFO command.
K3 has a subrx.  Subrx was on.

It works but not as expected.

If the VFO's are linked tuning A also tunes B.

However, the following doesn't happen:
1) Tuning VFO B does not tune A
2) A spot sent to VFO B doesn't also change VFO A to the same frequency.

I guess the manual is right:

> Holding SUB links the VFOs (whether the sub
> receiver is on or off). The kHz decimal point of
> VFO B flashes as a reminder. VFO A is the master,
> moving both VFOs in tandem.

Without carefully reading the manual, I though LINK meant they were both
linked. That is, changing either one would be reflected in the other
VFO. I'd like to see this capability (leaving the present link function
there as well)

The way to think about it is VFO B is LINKed to VFO A...not vice versa.  Neither the VFO B knob nor a command will affect VFO B when LINK is actuated.
