Listen the split.

[Ruben Navarro Huedo-2]

Hello friends:
While i am waiting my k3 i am reading the manual and soldering the
cables for it :-)
I have a little dubt:
One k3 without RX2.
DX Station working split.
I know i can't listen vfo a and b at the same time.
With my prior radio while pressing XFC button i could listen VFO B and
the search for the split.
How can this be done with k3?

I hope you understand me, becouse my English is not 100% good.

It works the same but you press REV.  As long as you press it you will hear on your TX frequency; release it and you are back on the DX frequency.

I do it differently.  I tune in the DX with VFO A as normal.  Then I usually lock the frequency so as to not lose him by mistake.  (It happens---often)

If the DX says listening up 5, I press "XIT" and dial it up 5 as viewed in the VFO B display.  If I want to listen to my transmit frequency I press, "RIT".  If this frequency isn't clear or I want to chase the last caller, I can use the offset knob to tune both offests and then tap "RIT" again to listen to the DX again while I transmit on my new frequency.

For me, pressing "REV" and tuning VFO B is a two-handed operation.

You actually tune VFO A while pressing REV since REV puts you on your TX frequency.  I first learned to do this with one hand on the TS-930S ~25 years ago ("REV" = "T-F SET" in 930 nomenclature).  Using my left hand (I'm right-handed) I press REV with my left index finger and tune VFOA with my left pinky.  I've done this for so many years I don't even think about it since the REV/TF button and VFO are in similar positions for the K3 and 930 (I also have BIG hands).  

Even though I have a KRX3, I'm in diversity 99.9% if the time and only use split receivers for truly massive pileups (i.e. spread over >5 kHz).  I have a macro set up to do that quickly and another to return to diversity when I'm done.
