switching VFO A knob to B VFO

[todd ruby-2]

Is it possible when operating split to use the larger A VFO knob to control the B VFO and the smaller B knob to set the A VFO freq? I am asking this as I will be operating W1AW/3  and if I have to work split it would be easier to leave the xmit freq controlled by the smaller knob and tune the “spread” with the large VFO A knob.

I hope I made sense and would appreciate any suggestions.

tnx

Hi Todd,

simply switch SPLIT on and it will work exactly as you described. ;-) In
SPLIT mode VFO A is the RX frequency while VFO B is the TX frequency.

Have fun with the pileups!

Hi Todd,

Of course Oliver is correct and I would like to add one comment. For the W1AW/n operations be sure to lock VFO B. You don't want your transmit frequency to change if you accidentally reach for and rotate the VFO B knob.
