[P3][K3][KRX3] Viewing cursors for both receivers on P3

dmb@lightstream.net
When using the second receiver w/ the K3 and P3, is there a way to have
a second cursor representing the frequency of the 2nd rx on the P3?  
Currently the  only way I have been able to get this to work is to
engage "Split", but my goal is to be able to tune around the same band
with the second rx  (within the current passband of the P3) while
listening to a station on the main RX, and be able to view both VFO's on
the P3 -- while not being in 'split' mode.

Hi Dale,

I always see the VFO-B cursor on my P3. VFO-A is green, VFO-B is magenta, and when in split, the actual transmit frequency is in red. If you don't see the magenta cursor then you may have the VFO-B cursor turned off. Press the P3 menu button and turn the knob until you see VFO B. Press the knob and the cursor should appear.

A secondary problem might be that VFO-B is tuned too far away from VFO-A to still be on the screen. When that happens you will see a magenta arrow pointing in the direction of VFO-B. You might be able to make it visible by increasing the frequency scale of the P3.
