Vic, the method that I use is to tune with the main receiver to find the DX transmit freq. When I have the DX tuned in, I tap the A>B button and the SUB button then turn up the AF gain on the SUB. Then I select my transmit frequency with the main receiver and make my call. It is very convenient and is my preferred technique for working split. If I have to call for a while to make my contact it lets me listen for other callers with the main receiver and try to find a good call frequency. This is my main reason for buying the sub receiver.

I've noticed that without the QRQ option -- even in semi-QSK mode -- when the speed gets above about 35 wpm it starts to have timing issues. After about 45, it is really bad. At slower speeds, although it is acceptable, you can notice the difference. I assigned the QRQ menu item to one of the PFK's on my K3. It is too much of a hassle to go to the menu! I don't use RIT that much, but SPLIT is a necessity for dx pileups. I know there is a way to operate split with the subreceiver, using VFO B to listen, but I haven't been able to get used to it. -- Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco/ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
