VFO A follows VFO B

[Ronald Lodewyck]

After clicking on a packet spot which put the K3 in split mode with VFO
B up 1 Khz I now find that pressing Rev and tuning, simultaneously
changes BOTH VFOs.  If I release the Rev button and tune my VFO A then
VFO B simultaneously changes by the same amount.  Move A up 1.1 Khz,
then VFO B also moves up 1.1 Khz.  Never did this before and cannot find
a way to unlock this tracking behavior.  The only thing I find relevant
in the K3 User Manual is  Config: VFO B>A which displays "Function" but
I cannot change this to anything else by rotating the VFO A knob.

This behavior only exists on the 20M band - it goes away on all other
bands.  I have turned the radio off and back on and no change.  I know
it must be a QLF on my part but danged if I can figure it out.  Any
suggestions?

TIA & 73,
Ron N6EE

Not sure, but you might have your VFOs  linked on the 20M band.  Go to 20M and push the SUB button until you see "UNLINK".

Press the SUB button.  The VFO's are probably LINKed and you need to
UNLINK them.  The kHz decimal point in the VFOB display will slowly
blink when the VFOs are LINKed.
