Larry,

The K3 will set the mode, frequency, etc. of VFO B the same as VFO A if you tap A->B twice.

The K3 *can* transmit cross-mode if you set it up as indicated on page 36 of the manual. With cross-mode operation possible, it is not desirable to set all parameters of VFO B to the same as VFO A unless the operator intends to do exactly that. Thus the double tap is required.

Tom,

When you tap/hold the <SPLIT> button, watch the K3 display to see if you get the error message "SPL N/A" (Split Not Available ?). This message appears when VFOb is set for a different mode than VFOa. To recover I tap the <A->B> button (which forces VFOb to VFOa's frequency and mode) and then re-tap/hold <SPLIT>.

Not sure if this is a Bug or a Feature. Would I ever want to be split cross-mode? I would prefer if the radio forced the modes equal and then performed the split operation rather than present me with an error message.
