VFO A & B tracking?

[Hardy Landskov]

I just noticed when I turn VFO A knob, VFO B tracks along. I can't think of why that would be. I don't remember if it used to do that or not and looking at the manual did not yield an answer. There again I have wasted a couple of hours tweaking this thing and did not get it fixed.
I don't think this is normal.

Your VFOs may be linked.  Try holding the SUB button (to the right of the
VFO A knob and down) until the VFO B display area shows "unlined".

That should be "Unlinked" rather than "Unlined".  It's late...

  That is quite normal if you have the VFOs linked.

  A HOLD of the SUB button will LINK/UNLINK the VFOs.
See pages 6, 14, 22, and 37 of the manual.

Nice!

Hello,

I have noticed that the CONFIG:L-MIX-R configuration setting
currently has six options:

A - B
A - AB
AB - B
AB - AB
A - B
A - AB

The keen reader will notice that option  5 equals option 1, and
option 6 equals option 2. This is probably a (cosmetic) bug.

Instead of correcting this flaw by removing options 5 and 6, I would
love to have the following settings for options 5 and 6:
A - A
B - B

This would enable me to implement an elegant AutoHotHey mono/stereo
toggle for my SO2V K3 (people doing SO2R with N1MM may know the
mono/stereo toggle as that what happens when you push the back-quote (`) key).

(Currently, I must use an ugly workaround in my AutoHotKey script in
order to achieve the mono/stereo toggle: in mono mode, I set
CONFIG:L-MIX-R= AB - AB and then set the RF gain of the receiver that
must be muted to 0 and the other RF gain to max. While this does
work, using the script I cannot use the RF gain front panel controls
in their intended manner, thus reducing the number of options that I
have to combat strong signals at the upper range of the K3's dynamic range...)

73,

Frank PA4N
