K3 subreceiver question

adamkern
With the K3 subreceiver installed and while using binaural
audio output from both receivers, is there a provision so that
a switch toggles between memory VFO A/B within one receiver,
and not between (physical) main- and sub-receivers?

Example: If working a split DX pileup, can you set one
receiver to the DX frequency, the other receiver to a
frequency in the pileup and use a toggle to switch the pileup
receiver between soft VFOs so that one can alternately listen
to the pile with wide/narrow filters?  Or, does one have to
adjust the DSP/XFIL filter width on the pileup receiver?

TNX,

No. The subreceiver, if turned on, is controlled by VFO B.

The latter. However, this is very easy to do thanks to the K3's
DSP/crystal filter "presets." There are two presets for each mode, and
a full set of these for each VFO. Once you have presets I and II set up
for a given mode and VFO, you can quickly toggle between the two using
the "I/II" switch.
