[Elecraft] OT: Up two ?
The up two thing is new to me, only having heard about it here on the reflector. Dunno where the idea started ... maybe it's aphone thing, akin to calling with partial calls. (;-) Yes, I understand the up thing, but there's nothing special about up two ... the DX can even be down. I've done that myself when the pile has grown too big. The savvy ops catch on fast. (:-) 73!

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Up two ?
Ken, Mostly I here listening up 5 or sometimes listening up 5 to 10 etc. I must be missing the listening up 2 thing. While we are on this topic, I have an alternate frequency set on VFO B on each band, pressing SPLIT means I usually have a lot of winding to do so I have been using the XIT/RIT for split use. If the Up 2 option is to be used, would cancellling the SPLIT return VFO B to my alternate frequency? If it does then I see a good use for me.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Up two ?
Lately it seems that most CW DX stations I have worked are listening up 1 or 2. Of course, for SSB they would want the bigger split of up 5 or so. By changing the UPB value in those macros (which I had a little off) you can change the split. For example: SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0; will give you Up 2 and for the wider SSB split: SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB7;RT0;XT0; yields Up 5 If you then push the Split button twice it will unset the Split and re-equalize the VFO's BTW, These Macros are copied or derived from the examples in the K3 Programmers Reference Rick K6LE On 4/11/2010, at 3:03 , Gary Gregory wrote: Ken, Mostly I here listening up 5 or sometimes listening up 5 to 10 etc. I must be missing the listening up 2 thing.

Re: [Elecraft] OT: Up two ?
Up 1 or Up 2 is the normal split for CW. Up 5 is about the minimum split for SSB and up 5 to 10 is common for big pileups (non-contest). Split operation is not unheard of, but rare in major contests except for really rare DXpeditions. The quick way to bet both VFOs on the same frequency is to press the AB button if the frequency is in A or A/B then AB if the frequency you want is in B.

Cookie, Better tap AB twice in succession if there is any chance VFO B is on a different mode (or ANT, etc) than VFO A. 73, Don W3FPR WILLIS COOKE wrote: Up 1 or Up 2 is the normal split for CW.
