VFO tracking

I am using a friends K3 at NP2X this weekend, and quickly noticed that VFO B tracks VFO A when in Split mode. I have never seen this happen on my K3, and am unable to find out to stop B from tracking A. Yes, I have RTFM, but am still in the dark?

Suggestion please. Go easy on me, I'm not on the island rum!

73, George, K5KG/KP2

Re: VFO tracking

There's a CONFIG menu item that locks VFO B to VFO A. Unfortunately, I
don't remember the exact name of the setting and I'm 250 miles from my K3.

Hope this helps at least a little bit.

73 de,

George,

That happens when the VFOs are locked. Hold the lock button (to the
right of the VFO A knob) to toggle the ON/OFF state of LOCK.

Re: VFO tracking

If your in split, and the VFOs track, you have to hold the "sub" button
to unlink
the VFOs.

Re: VFO tracking

Sorry for my slip. Yes, Merv is correct - the VFOs are "linked" not
"locked" - my only excuse is that they both start with "L".
