I’ve seen some of the other threads you mentioned this in. I could have missed
it, but I didn't see an explanation for what LOCK or HOLD means. To me, LOCK
and HOLD a frequency mean the same thing.
Hi Gary,
the old "Lock Tx=Rx" button caused the Tx or Rx to always follow the
other when changed. This was undesirable because you were no longer in
control of your Tx frequency, e.g. it would follow that of your QSO
partner. An analogy might be that on phone or CW your rig automatically
followed your QSO partner's frequency changes without any regard for
what QRM to others it might cause.
Hold Tx on the other hand simply fixes your Tx frequency such that
actions that might move it like answering a CQ call no longer do so,
i.e.you are still in full control of your station equipment but can
choose to operate at an offset from your QSO partner that you choose.
