Here is my solution to handling a wide split.
The KX3 has an excellent Sub Receiver function, however it is difficult to use
when the DX is weak and the locals are very strong, as is often the case here.
You may use the KX3 Macros and the KX3 Utility to your advantage with a PC and
a mouse.
Guys,
To keep things simple and less prone to transmitting on the
wrong VFO, I listen to the DX station using the MAIN
VFO A, then turn on the XIT function and turn the little freq control
knob to where your want to TRANSMIT, up 2 or whatever.
As a bonus, I can check my *proposed* TRANSMIT
I lock the main tuning (VFO A) on the DX ... prevents uh-ohs. I then rest
my left fingers on the top front edge of the K3 and hold the REV button
with my left index finger as needed while tuning the main VFO with my right
hand.
It's pretty easy to find the station the DX is working and releasing
If you haven't heard it from over here, you can't imagine how bad the
deliberate QRM is.

You're kidding, right? You're going to hold in a button to listen to the DX?
If too many people are doing this then it's no wonder people are calling while
the DX is transmitting.
You want to listen to the DX, not the callers. What do you learn from them?

: [Elecraft] Too many tuning knobs
I don't have the KRX3 either, I'm not really sure what I'd do with it.
I watch the pile on the P3. Ordinarily, on something not as popular as
Navassa, when the DX answers, the pile dies quickly, and then one [OK, maybe
two] signals pop up. I park VFO B next

Like Don, N5LZ, I've been playing in the K1N 15M pileup.
However, I don't have a KRX3, so I'm using the REV button to
listen to the pileup. My user interface problem comes from
having the tuning knob for VFO B switch from the medium size
knob to the big knob when I press REV.
I have the
Bill,
I for one would not want to have your proposed 'solution'.
When you do REV, the VFOs exchange from VFO A to VFO B. When in REV,
one would normally do tuning with the VFO A knob (because what was VFO B
is now VFO A).
Messing with the VFO B knob while in REV will change the frequency of
11 matches
