Guys, To keep things simple and less prone to transmitting on the wrong VFO, I listen to the DX station using the "MAIN" VFO A, then turn on the XIT function and turn the little freq control knob to where your want to TRANSMIT, "up 2" or whatever.
As a bonus, I can check my *proposed* TRANSMIT frequency by pushing the RIT function...of course turning the RIT OFF after checking my *proposed" transmit freq. No need to mess with the VFO B. Hope I 'splained that clear unuf! :D) 73, Charlie, N0TT >Like Don, N5LZ, I've been playing in the K1N 15M pileup. However, I don't have a KRX3, so I'm using the REV button to listen to the pileup. My user interface problem comes from having the tuning knob for VFO B switch from the medium size knob to the big knob when I press REV. I have the little knob -- RIT/XIT -- set for fast tuning, so I have 3 tuning knobs, not counting the QSY knob/button on the P3. Since I'm running with VFO A locked, to avoid losing K1N by brushing a tuning knob, there is really only one VFO that can be tuned. However the cognitive load of switching tuning knobs when I press REV is a bit more than my feeble brain can handle. Does anyone have a work around, or should I ask Elecraft to change the tuning implementation in some way. One way that might work is to always have the big knob tune VFO A and the medium tune VFO B, even if REV is being held. Another would be to have the fact that VFO A is locked change all three knobs tune VFO B, which would allow high-speed tuning. I guess I have to up the priority of the KRX3, But I also need the KAT3 and the KDVR3 and a bunch of other stuff that's better to put in first. HIHI What's a poor ham to do?
