Or if, as I do, you prefer to work split with your transmitter on VFO A and the DX on VFO B, you could set L-MIX-R to Ab-b to get a similar effect (DX in both ears, the pileup only in the left).
Working "reverse split" like this means you don't have to press SPLIT, so you are less likely to transmit on the DX station's frequency by mistake. It also means you use the VFO A knob to tune around in the pileup, instead of the smaller VFO B knob. I also prefer having my panadapter display centered on my transmit frequency instead of on the DX frequency. This method only works if you have a subRX. Also, some logging software doesn't understand this setup and logs the TX and RX frequencies incorrectly, in which case you may have to go back and adjust them in your log afterwards. And if you use the DX Cluster to find the DX, your software may want to set you up for normal split with SPLIT on. Switching over to reverse split requires you to tap A/B and turn SPLIT off (or use a macro to do them both at once).
