It's meant to solve the problem where you want to intentionally not transmit on the listening frequency, and want the minimum of control operations to get there. Yes, that's a rare situation. ------------------- I would hope so. It implies transmitting without listening first on the xmit frequency to be sure it is clear, an absolute *must do* for proper Ham operation. When I need to xmit off frequency I tune to the intended xmit freq and, hearing it's clear, hit A/B to put myself back listening on the original frequency, all set to xmit off frequency as needed when I hit the key with SPLIT enabled. If it's been a while since I checked, all I need do is press/hold A/B to 'peek' at the other frequency to be sure it's still clear. I run split 100% of the time. I tune around and if I hear someone I want to call (or find a clear frequency on which I want to make a call) I just tap A=B and that brings the transmit frequency onto the frequency where I'm receiving. Then if someone answers my call a bit off frequency, it's a no-brainer. I just tune - using the nice big tuning knob - as needed without altering my xmit frequency.
