I have been a K3 user for a few years. The one event that has always bugged me is that it seems way too easy to unknowingly have the rig "drop out" of SPLIT, with the result that I have made far too many transmissions (unwittingly) on the DX calling frequency rather than where the frequency of VFO B is indicating, and where the cursor on the P3 is showing. Yes, I know about the yellow LED and the tiny down indicator and the small (SPLT) that should be illuminated. However, many of my previous rigs have always had what I considered to be a superb feature, the flipping of the frequency readouts, a very visible and noticeable change that can be picked up with even peripheral vision if looking somewhat away from the actual readout. I have a single receiver in my K3, and naturally I quite often use the REV button to check out the pileup. Notice how easily the display flips. I really wish the display would do exactly that when PTT is asserted, so it would clearly indicate that I really am still operating split.
I hope this could become a "user option" in the near future. Doug VE3VS Wayne said.... Or, we could replace the *entire* VFO A display with the word "SPLIT" during key-down. This would be even more obvious, and it wouldn't mess up the VFO B display. VFO B is what you care about during split TX. .......that too would be a very obvious indicator that the rig is actually doing what we wanted it to do. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Split-operation-display-of-Transmit-frequency-on-keydown-tp7598758p7598836.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
