Elecrafters,
when you are on a Frequency working someone or calling , it may happen
that you accidently touch the RIT-Knob and --poof-- the qrg is gone.
Even if VFO is locked.

Very bad in a contest when you are running.

To prevent this, I switch on RIT (if i don't forget).

What do *you* do to prevent this?

I run in SPLIT mode.  TX freq is LOCKed on VFOB and RX freq tuned on VFOA.  I like the large knob for tuning and it's nowhere close to the RIT knob (which I never use anyway).  I've done this for ~30 years starting with the TS-930S, FT1000MP, Orion and now K3.
