Here is another idea that might be useful in working DX stations in split:
LOCKing VFOA could engage a kind of automatic REV function such that moving the VFOA knob will instantly swich the receiver to VFO-B. It would automatically revert back to VFO-A when you stop moving the knob for some user-selectable period of time, say some multiple of 1/10 second. In operation you would tune in the DX station on VFOA as usual. Then select: A>B, SPLIT, LOCK. Then start turning the VFOA knob again. VFOA is locked so the receiver instantly reverts to VFOB so you can roam around the pileup looking for an empty spot or the current QSO. When you stop turning the knob the receiver reverts back to VFOA after a short delay, ready to transmit on VFOB. That would eliminate all of the REV button pushing and one-handed gymnastics! 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:29:02 -0700, Mike Fatchett W0MU wrote: >Interesting idea but lots of stations actually operate outside their >splits or just say up. > ______________________________________________________________ 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
