No, I operate More than enough to know how much of a pain it would be if the VFOs were synchronized every time one turned split off - for example to move one VFO to a different pile-up. Only to have lost the frequency saved in VFO B when returning to an original pile-up. Synchronizing VFOs every time the split status is changed is *still* a terrible idea but if you want to do that, you can use the K3 Macro capability to build your own "quick split" macro without causing inconvenience to others. > If VFO B is already on the same band and mode as VFO A, then just turn > Split on. > > I find that the second condition NEVER occurs. I find the second condition is almost always the case and if it isn't two quick presses of the Split button is all it takes. 73, ...
