K3 memory loss

While going through the Config menu's I came across
RF nor KNB3 and RF nor KBPF3 entries.

For the life of me I can't remember, or find in the documentation
what the "RF" bit does.

It means this is the main (RF board) KNB3 or KBPF3. If you tap the SUB
button, and have sub Rx installed, you'll see RF change to Sub to
indicate the status of the option in the KRX3.

Ah...
Thanks Lyle.
Although Sub is obvious, I don't immediately associate RF with the
Main RX. Main or even MN might be clearer I.M.H.O.

It is hard to make an M in a 7-segment display such as is used for VFO A
:-(

We thought of A/b, 1/2, and others but RF/Sub seemed the best of the
combinations we thought of...

Re: K3 memory loss

Perhaps "Sub" and "Pri" (for primary).

I remember it by thinking that the main board in the K3 is called the RF
board. So thus the main RX is the RX on the RF board.

Yes, that should work.

The only issue is that my warped mind thinks of
Sub Pri (Prime) - more nightmares !
