The main use for XIT is in CW contests and simplex DX pileups, to apply a small 'tactical' offset of typically a few tens of Hz. Full split operation is not appropriate in this situation - you can already hear everything in the main RX. >In either case, it would be nice to have an indication of the actual >transmit frequency on the P3. "Nice" makes it sound like eye candy - but it's more than that. Exactly where you'll be transmitting within the displayed spectrum is one of the most important pieces of information that the P3 has to offer. >I'm not sure that another cursor is the right answer though.

It should pop up on the P3 whenever the 'delta-F' LED is active on the K3, and preferably in red. -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ 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
