K3 linking VFO A and B

[VE3NFK]

Hi

Must be having a senior moment  - but while I have VFO  A and B linked
nicely on 80 - can't do it on 40..
instructions say
"Holding SUB  links the VFOs (whether the sub
receiver is on or off). The kHz decimal point of
VFO B flashes as a reminder. "

But the instant you press 'SUB' - it turns on without linking; and then any
further 'hold' turns on diversity.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks  John VE3NFK

John,

You apparently missed the Firmware Release notes.
VFO Linking has been moved from the SUB button into a menu item.

There was a timing relationship on the SUB button - a long hold used to
turn on Linking, but it was confusing to a number of operators so it was
changed.

You forgot to read the firmware release notes:

MCU 5.10 / DSP 2.83, 2-2-2015

* EASIER DIVERSITY RECEIVE SELECTION: A regular hold of SUB now goes
directly into diversity receive, without first having to go through
"LINK". This should benefit most users of the KRX3 sub receiver, since
few use the VFO linking function. Those who do use VFO linking can still
turn it on by setting CONFIG:VFO LNK to ON. This menu entry can be
assigned to a programmable function switch for easy selection if
desired, eliminating the need to bring up the menu.

John and all,

You should consider the Firmware Release Notes as an update to the
manual(s).
