a/b vfos

[Todd Ruby]

I just got my k3 back from a friend who  used the radio for a couple  
of weeks and what is happening is that when i turn the large VFO knob  
both A and B freqs change together. the smaller knob controls the B  
VFO as it should.

any ideas why this is happening

tnx in advance

The VFOs are LINKED. Unlink them by holding the SUB button instead of
tapping it. The tap toggles the subreceiver on/off. The hold SUB toggles
the link/unlink behavior. When linked, the VFO B knob adjusts the offset
of B from A.

It  sounds like the two VFOs may be linked together.

Hold the SUB button (below and to the right of the VFO A knob) to unlink the
VFOs.  See page 14 of the K3 Owner's manual.
