Wayne:
I cast my vote for the present 2-tap method. I'll primarily be using the
subRx to listen to my xmit frequency while finding the best spot to
transmit and will have a wider filter in use there than in the main RX.
The way it is configured now suits me just fine.

Doug,
There was plenty of logic behind it, but in hindsight it might not
sense for all users. (It did meet with the approval of our 20 field
testers.)
The change was motivated by the sub receiver. Here's one example:
Suppose you're using SPLIT, listening to a weak DX station on the main
RX (in a very narrow bandwidth with preamp on), while tuning for a
clear spot with the sub RX (using a wider bandwidth and preamp off).
With one tap of A>B you can move VFO B back to the starting point and
work your way up again. If this also copied VFO A's filter and preamp
settings (etc.) to VFO B, you'd have to set them up all over again.
But I'll be happy to sit back and listen to arguments pro and con. If
it looks like a lot of operators would prefer to copy everything with
one tap, I could add a menu entry. If no one argues in favor of
two-tap (including the field testers), I could change it outright. I'm
easy :)
Thanks for your input.
