Hi Ralph, The violet VFO B cursor is present whether the sub RX is on or off. As another poster commented you can turn it off with a menu change. And I suppose you could set a FN button up to do it if you prefer.
I also prefer fixed tune and rarely use tracking mode. I don't use the markers. When I see a signal I'm interested in I just spin the VFO A or VFO B dial on the K3. But I could see a use if you want to tag a station but not QSY to his frequency just yet. But then again I could spin the VFO B dial to the frequency and then just hit A/B when I want to actually QSY to that frequency. Hey, there's some features on the K3 I never use as well. But it's nice to know they're there just in case. 73, Mike K2MK Ralph Parker wrote > > I'm still getting used to my new P3.
