Newbie question... AGAIN!

[Emory Schley]

OK, I'll try this again...
 
I'm the new owner of a KX2 and am trying to learn all I can about the rig. One thing about it truly stumps me. The multi-purpose knob at the far right side of the rig is labeled OFS, and for the life of me, I cannot figure out what OFS stands for. I turned my computer loose on the PDF copy of the Owner's Manual and could find nothing identifying that label there. I also searched through the printed version of the manual. If it's in there somewhere, I've been unable to find it. I even wrote a note to Elecraft about it, and for some reason, they ignored my note even though they were quite responsive in answering questions BEFORE I bought the radio. So, I now turn to you. Does ANYONE know what "OFS" stands for?
 
Thanks, Emory N4LP

Emory,

There are plenty of references in the manual to the OFS/B knob.
Unfortunately, those are masked to a search of the .pdf of the manual
because they are images in the manual.
See page 12 (last column) for the definition of the OFS/B knob.
The use of the UFS LED is in the RIT and XIT text on page 16 - similarly
the VFO B shows use of the B LED on page 16.
Also see pages 5 and 23 for the use in Special VFO B displays.
Page 5 indicates that the VFO/B knob is used to scroll through the menu
entries.
Use of the knob for selecting data submodes is on pages 27 and 28.
Use of the knob for Text Decode is on page 29.

I may have missed a few of the references to the OFS/B knob images or
the OFS and B LEDs, but the above are a few of them.

OFS is an abbreviation for OFFSET.

73,
Don W3FPR
