Jim, You are confusing the subreceiver with VFO B. They are two separate things. You don't transmit from the subreceiver, you transmit from VFO B, and VFO B is there even if you don't have a subreceiver. To put it another way, you can operate split without a subreceiver. BTW, RIT and repeater offset have nothing to do with this.
You are correct that you cannot use the subreceiver to receive FM if you don't have the FM filter in it. However, you can still transmit from VFO B. Just leave the subreceiver turned off in FM and use your K3 as if it was a single-receiver K3: 1. Tune to the FM signal you want to receive, using VFO A in FM mode. 2. Tap A>B twice to transfer the frequency and mode settings to VFO B. 3. Tune VFO B to the frequency you want to transmit on, e.g. up 10 kHz from VFO A. 4. Hold the SPLIT button. The transmitter will now use the frequency in VFO B. The receiver will still be on VFO A. 5. If you want to listen momentarily on your transmit frequency, press the REV button. Let go of the REV button to listen to the DX station, and definitely let go of it before transmitting. 73, Rich VE3KI N7US wrote: > I have the FM filter only in the main receiver, so I can't use the > subreceiver to transmit or receive FM, right? > > I see the RIT only goes to 9.9 kHz, so I can't quite split up 10. > > The repeater offset menu item has a minimum of 20 kHz. > > I can emotionally handle not working T32C on another band slot, which is > good because I think the only way to do it is with RIT if the split is less > than 9.99 kHz, right? ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
