No, you don't use the large knob to control the KRX3. You said you wanted to use the large knob to tune the transmit frequency while listening to your transmit frequency. In that case you use the KRX3 to listen to the (fixed) DX frequency and tune your transmit frequency with VFO A and listen to your transmit frequency on the main receiver. Dual receive - not split. If you are the DX, set your transmit frequency on VFO B, enable dual receive and split. Tune the callers in the pile on VFO A. There is no reason to use the large knob to control the KRX3 since the KRX3 and main receivers are identical. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David > Ferrington, M0XDF > Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 10:10 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net > Subject: Re: [Elecraft] k3 : Split Operation - update > > > according to my rev D1 K3 manual, pg37 > > VFO B controls the sub’s frequency, and is also the > TX frequency during SPLIT (see details at right). > > > and 'right' says > > SPLIT Mode with the Sub Receiver > During split (SPLIT), VFO A is the receive > frequency and VFO B the transmit frequency.
