In addition to confirming this happening, I did another quick check. It DOES operate properly and follow VFO B when SPLIT is on, whether or not you have the sub receiver enabled, just not with the XIT.
If SPLIT is off, the KAT500 follows the main receiver and the sub-receiver tuning has no effect on it. Jim - W0EB > > I updated to KAT500 1.63 and latest KPA500 and K3 firmware.
