Split receiving and 2 ears

[W9RE]

Is there an easy way when listening split say 7205 and 7065 (7205 in one ear
and 7065 in the other) and then put 2 ears on one frequency or the other
quickly?

Mike,

Certainly, put the frequency you want to listen to into VFO A (unless it
is already there), and then drop out of SPLIT.  Either a one or two
button operation.

I can give you a scenario  that may make it easier to understand; this
presumes you have the sub rx installed.

The DX is staying on one TX frequency, put that in the VFO A, leave it
alone.  Have your TX set to split on VFO B.  Go into split RX so you can
hear both; using the VFO B to listen to the station that the DX is
working now (in your right ear).

Once you determine (by tracking/listening) to the direction the DX is
listening (up, down or not) to work the pileup, you put the VFO B on
your intended 'attack' point.  At this time, you can hear what is there,
plus the DX.  (This is where a bandscope REALLY pays off, MUCH simpler.)

Presuming the DX fades and you need more signal to hear, you turn off
split and you're listening only to the DX (VFO A) while VFO B is ready
for split TX.

If you're listening split for another reason, you make the frequency you
need to hear alone in VFO A by pushing the A/B button, then turn off
split, two buttons max.

One thing I would add here is the L-Mix-R setting in the config menu, which controls which VFOs go in which ear. As a DXer who loves working pileups, I can tell you the best combination for me is A-Ab; meaning VFO A Audio (the DX station transmitting) is present in the left ear, and mixed in with the pileup (VFO-B) audio in the right ear.

You can adjust that setting to taste (make sure you have the Sub-RX enabled first when you go into that menu item), but for me, A-Ab is the way to go. Try the different combinations to see which works best for you.

I like A-Ab too, when working split. It makes the DX station stand out.
A nice thing is that the K3 knows that even when you have A-Ab set for
pileups, when you use Diversity, you automatically get A-b.

Sometimes, when the DX is hard to copy, I even switch back and forth
between Diversity and normal subreceiver operation in the same pileup.
