K3 - using the Manual NTCH

Bill-3
I just noticed that when the Manual NTCH is engaged and the frequency of
the notch is set using VFO B - the main VFO is locked. You cannot change
frequency with VFO A, however the frequency can be controlled via HRD.
This lock can be toggled off by pressing the A/B button.

Is this a feature? Anomaly? Or, just one of those odd little things that
can happen when something is designed to be foolproof - and
underestimating the ingenuity a complete fool.

VFO A knob is disabled while you're in notch configuration mode, if you
press NTCH again you'll still have the notch at the desired offset
and you can move VFO A again. I see that pressing any other key also
exits from config mode (as it should be), so this is probably what
you're seeing.

I wouldn't see the need to lock computer control of VFO A while setting
notch.
