Hi Dave, You don't need to use linked VFOs for this purpose. If you've set up a repeater offset on the current band, and have selected +/- rather than simplex (using the ALT switch in FM mode), then transmit will automatically be offset that amount from VFO A no matter where you tune in the band.
For this reason, you don't need to use VFO B at all when using FM and repeaters with the K3, K3S, or KX3. Hence no need to use VFO linking, SPLIT mode, etc. 73, Wayne N6KR On Aug 1, 2015, at 1:58 PM, "Dave New, N8SBE" <[email protected]> wrote: > Operating split on 10M on the FM repeaters. > > -------- Original Message -------- > Subject: [Elecraft] Linked VFO's -- usage? > From: "Cady, Fred" <[email protected]> > Date: Sat, August 01, 2015 4:05 pm > To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > > Hi All, > In the current K3 firmware (going back a few versions) you can link VFO > A and B with the CONFIG:VFO LNK menu.
