I for one would not like this change. I have this on my Icoms and never liked it.

Perhaps it's just a human condition! What I'd REALLY like to see is the actual xmit freq displayed on the top line (VFO A display line where the readout is a larger size). Then if you are split it would display VFO A freq (rx freq as it does normally) until you hit xmit and then would display VFO B freq (where you are xmitting) on that line - sort of flip-flop the data. When you quit xmitting, VFO A would again be displayed as usual and - if the text decode is turned on - the VFO B line would again display the decoded text. 'Course with QSK this could be quite dazzling! Of course there are lots of other scenarios where this extra little prodding might be very useful - those are left as an exercise to the reader! 73 es gud dxing --Don N4HH K3/100 #83 -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Ken Kopp Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 3:41 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: [Elecraft] Feature request Hi Mike, When working split it would be nice to display your transmit frequency. While in SPLIT mode, I see the TX frequency (VFO B) displayed in the VFO B window, with a TX-labeled arrow pointing at B. Say you have 21.295 for VFO A receiving K5D and VFO B at 21.305 for transmit. While I see the TX arrow on B it would be nice to see that you were actually transmitting on 305 on the main display. While in SPLIT mode where else -could- you be transmitting? Why would you need to be shown this information in a second place at the same time? In split mode could it be possible to display the 2nd VFO frequency and be able to change the vfo with the sub/rit knob. In split I can't recall ever needing to use the rit feature. You can change the VFO B frequency with the VFO B knob, either by turning the knob and reading the resulting change in the VFO B window or by tapping A/B to swap the VFO's to put yourself on the frequency of the calling station. I think this is what you want to do. SUB is a button and RIT is a knob. I don't follow what you're suggesting. I agree, I've never had occasion to either RIT or XIT in SPLIT ... or in any situation, for that matter ... but the results of a change to either are displayed in the respective window if either is enabled. Actually, I -never- use either RIT or XIT, but that's just a personal preference. It would be nice to have immediate control over both vfo's if possible. You do ... by turning each VFO's knob. Heard you in a K5D pile-up today, BTW. I operated from there in the mid-90's ... a miserable place, too. (:-) 73!
