Thanks to all that have replied. I'll not belabor the point however the question has been somewhat hijacked. In my manual that I have read from cover to cover there is no clear understanding of anything to do with a/b tapping whatsoever as it pertains to split operation. I was only recently made aware that my manual is one year old and that many changes had been made that superseded the version c1 of nov 2007. I normally slave vfo a and b together so that I can quickly be on about the right rx when I need to be. After reading my manual it states that all I have to do is hit split and I should be able to transmit on vfo b without further pressing of anything. It is stated that B/SET can be used to set up VFO B independently however there was no mention that it was a prerequisite for split operation. I've read with interest all the postings and would still like to have split do all functions in one press of that button. If there is compelling reason that it should be set otherwise that should be a menu option. I've noticed that in order to set up split it is in fact necessary to hit a/b twice closely spaced then hold a/b to enter split. That is 3 presses of the button. I have downloaded the latest version of the manual and am in the process of reading it. I just received my K3 three weeks ago but yet I have a manual that is about one year old and I'm sure that has lead to some of my confusion on this issue. Again I do not want to belabor this situation as I stated in the beginning but only wish to clarify the finer points of my initial writing.
Thanks for hearing me out Bob Ansell K1WGM _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
