Hmmmm ... that seems like a whole lot of effort to work an other wise
user-friendly radio/panadapter, but to each his own. I can spot DX in a
heartbeat from the pileup on the P3 and of course, just below the pile
will be the UP Cops and [hopefully], the DX under them. I finally built
a PF1 macro to do: A-->B; A-->B; Move B up 5 KHz; Go to SPLIT. PF2
undoes it. Moving my TX freq with the B-knob and P3 is quick and
painless. I don't have the second receiver.
Other than holding SPLIT, I don't know how to transmit on VFO B.
I got a Pigknob which is on the left of the laptop with the mouse and a
paddle and migrated the macros into the PK. I use the P3 markers during
a contest to mark a multiplier who has a pile on him so I can come back
when he's more lonely.

Reading the P3 screen I see a station transmitting. I use Marker A
(Green) to pin me on that desired station as soon as I tap the knob
to QSY me to a desired signal.
I listen to the station and they say UP so I know to hold in the MKR
button to activate B ((Magenta) I see where the last transmission is
and I place the Magenta marker at that location and tap: The Sub Rx
goes to that frequency where the DX was last listening but sub is not
engaged, it just sits on that frequency and does nothing with it.
Problem is that if I don't then reach over and manually hold the
split button on the K3 itself to have the K3 transmit on the DX
listening frequency, I'll still keep transmitting on the DX transmit
frequency because the K3 will not have gone split; its as if the
procedure is halted half way and it shouldn't function this way, its
not intuitive.
If I'm going to the effort to engage Marker B to QSY its because I
want to transmit on the Marker B frequency. What do I have to the do
differently to force the K3 go split to transmit on the B freq when I
tap on MKR B?
