Don, Of course you are right there are indicators on the K3 telling you whether split is set. To be honest sometimes a hand coming out and giving me a "whack up the side of the head" might not be too bad of an idea. The change has been made to my Configuration Menu "Splt Sv to yes" and so perhaps the problem will now be reduced. Stations inadvertently calling on frequency, is sadly not uncommon and their operators are deeply embarrassed when it happens. As to malicious interference this is a sadder story; there are times when I would like a death ray to deal with these lids.

Just take a quick look at the display when changing bands. Of course, I know there are some who would like an automated hand to slap us on the forehead and say in a loud voice "Dummy, you are in split". The implementation of that device is left to the user. 73, Don W3FPR On 7/31/2011 7:43 AM, N3XX wrote: > Calling on ST0R's freq happened to me a few times.
