RIT?

[Chester Alderman]

I'm not sure how this is supposed to work and I can not find an answer in
the K3 manual. When I first got my K3, I thought when I was tuning RIT that
my receiver frequency changed but the VFO A display did not. Now when I
change RIT, VFO A frequency reading also changes and to me, this is
indicating my tx frequency is being shifted also. I have CONFIG:VFO OFS set
to OFF and RIT CLR set to UNDO OFF. Can someone please tell me the 'normal'
operation of RIT?
Thanks.

Tommy,

I tried my RIT and I agree that the VFO A frequency appears to move as you
turn the RIT knob.  But if you transmit, the VFO A frequency reverts back to
the original frequency.  I suppose it might be better to keep the VFO A
frequency the same and only show the offset +/- setting for RIT in the VFO B
display.  That might be less confusing.  I never noticed the issue until you
pointed it out.

Dave, N4QS

Hi Tom,

This is correct. In receive mode, the RIT amount is added to the VFO A  
display. But when you go into transmit mode, the RIT offset is taken  
back out (try using XMIT to see this).

You can turn XIT on if you want the offset to apply to both RX and TX.

If you want to see the RIT offset at all times, tap DISP and rotate  
VFO B until you see the offset ("0.00", etc.).
