VFO IND = NO (default) keeps VFO A and B on the same band at all times.

VFO IND = YES allows VFO B to be on a different band. This is most useful with 
the sub receiver.

VFO LNK just slaves VFO B to VFO A. As you rotate A, B moves along with it. VFO 
B can be moved off of VFO A's frequency, in which case moving VFO A will 
preserve some offset between the two. In practice this is not used very often, 
which is why VFO LNK was moved to a menu entry. This allowed us to use a 
regular HOLD of the SUB switch to get into diversity mode.

NOTE: Speaking of which, VFO LNK is *not* needed for diversity receive mode. In 
diversity, VFO A automatically controls both the main and sub receiver 
frequencies. VFO B can be used as a holding register for another part of the 
band, or for use as the TX frequency during SPLIT.
