Split operation is pretty simple. You transmit on one frequency and listen on another. If your radio has two VFO's you set the main VFO (VFO A) to listen to the station transmitting and set the second VFO (VFO B) to where the station said he is listening.
For example, If you are listening to a DX station on 14200 and the station says listening up 10. Your VFO A is on 14200. Set VFO B on 14210. Press the SPLIT button on your transceiver. Key the rig. Most rigs will say in Split mode till you turn it off. Sometimes he'll say 10-15 up. Meaning he is going to tune 10-15KHz up, So if you are 11 or 12 Khz higher you might have a better chance of the DX station hearing you then if you are exactly 10 KHz up. Try it. You'll catch on after a while. What radio do you have? 73, Ron, K5HM <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.qrz.com/db/k5hm> www.qrz.com/db/k5hm Excelsior!

Does BVARC have any online documentation about how to do this? 73, Rob, KC5RET From: BVARC [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of K5HM via BVARC Sent: Monday, February 16, 2015 4:16 PM To: BRAZOS VALLEY AMATEUR RADIO CLUB Subject: [BVARC] Cocos Lid fest. The guy is working Simplex 14200 calling for Sud YCentro America. You should hear the Lids in the US pretending they speak Spanish hoping to fool the op. It's comical. He's got huge pile up. Don't know why he doesn't wok split. Think I will wait till tomorrow. Had a pretty good day today. Knocked off Rodrigues Island and St. Barthelmey 73, Ron, K5HM <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.qrz.com/db/k5hm> www.qrz.com/db/k5hm Excelsior! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information of Cameron and its Operating Divisions.
