I believe that 98% of all of us use split to work DX and this always occurs in the same mode. It seems to me that having a menu item that would allow us to choose to have VFO B always be in the same mode as VFO A would be a helpful thing. It would eliminate the step of always having to make B equal A with a double tap. The Other choice for the menu selection would be to have it exactly as it is now. I dont see any downside to this solution. If you agree please let Wayne and company know. The way it is now makes it more trouble to go split than with any other transceiver. Van W4GIW

Eric and I will discuss this on Monday. Sounds like a good idea.

Van W4GIW I don't agree. Only making the mode the same between the VFOs is a poor UI. What about the frequency? What if VFO-B is up in the SSB sub-band when you have VFO-A in the CW sub-band? Now, you have another K3 operation to get it where you want it. A>B is the perfect feature in this application. If the menu option made the VFOs equivalent in all VFO parameters (A>B) when it invoked SPLIT, that might make sense. In the vast majority of times I go into SPLIT, I want to tap A>B first to be sure the VFOs are totally equal before tuning VFO-B up into the pile-up. I find it helpful for the VFO-B frequency to start from a known point, i.e., the DX TX frequency, before I start tuning the pileup.

When an operation advertises its operating frequencies in advance, as
K4M has, it's simple to set up band memories in advance that include mode, SUB on and selected for TX split up. Chance favors those who are prepared. 73 - Steve WB6RSE ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Ed,
I agree with you on this. The way you describe it, That's the way I always do it (and done that for years with my MP), It would be nice if, after pressing split, the vfo's would be on the same freq and in same mode. This would be a nice short cut. The purist might add that the CW split would have to be 1 up and the ssb split 5 up. But that would me too much for me. Let me do that by hand. 73 Arie PA3A ---------------------------- ..... A>B is the perfect feature in this application.

If we have a software switch that allows us to select which way we want to
operate, then the problem goes away. Each to their own way. Actually I like the idea of being able to select either way. During a contest I would like it setup so I only had to push A>B once. When hunting for DX I would like it to operate the way it is with two pushes of A>B for freq, mode, filters, etc. 72, N2TK, Tony PS One of the K3's is packed and ready for KP2M.

For my part I'm contented with the way A>B and Split works.
Maybe it's also that I'm used to it this way because all of my previous rigs worked like this. I don't see the need to change this. As for the quick split feature, it is nice to have but I never used it because a lot of DX-Stations use different splits and you'll have to dial in on them anyway. Yust my 2 cents. 73 de Roland, DC1RS

The K3 requires FIVE distinct operations to set that up, leaving its owner several seconds behind the game.

Wayne,
If you force the same mode with SPLIT, you will be negating the use of cross-mode split. I know standard (same mode) split is much more common, but I believe a K3 capability for cross-mode split should be available. 73, Don W3FPR Wayne Burdick wrote: > Eric and I will discuss this on Monday.

Can I plead for flexibility? Everyone seems to want the most efficient
split operation for their particular way of using split, but there are other requirements as well. For example, assume a DX station is using a K3 on 40m phone, say at 7055 kHz, and trying to listen both on its own frequency and on a split frequency high in the band, say at 7250 kHz. In that application, he would want to be able to transmit on either VFO simply by turning SPLIT on or off. He wouldn't want any automatic frequency equalization. I like the way SPLIT works right now, as it allows such flexibility. 73, andy, ae6y ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html |

Guys - Let's end this thread for now. Wayne and I will discuss this next
week. (I'm currently at 30,000 ft flying back to CA from a meeting in TX. American Air's in-flight WiFi is pretty cool for workaholics like us..) Also, please note from the latest manual that quickly double pressing A->B copies ALL VFO A info to VFO B, including mode. We added that some time back specifically for this need. 73, Eric WA6HHQ List Moderator van fair wrote: > MY suggestion which is supported by many more than oppose it, still allows > you to do nothing, leave the menu selection in default and you end up with > exactly what you have now.

I don't want to contradict but tapping A>B once already copy frequency AND mode to VFO B...
Just turned on the radio and tried again to be 100% sure. 73 de Roland, DC1RS

It seems to me that having a menu item that would allow us to choose to have VFO B always be in the same mode as VFO A would be a helpful thing. It would eliminate the step of always having to make B equal A with a double tap. The Other choice for the menu selection would be to have it exactly as it is now. I dont see any downside to this solution. If you agree please let Wayne and company know. The way it is now makes it more trouble to go split than with any other transceiver.
