Igor, Program M1-M4 to do linking? Gary -----Original Message----- From: "Igor Sokolov" <[email protected]> Sent: 26/01/2016 2:57 PM To: "Guy Olinger K2AV" <[email protected]> Cc: "elecraft reflector" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Linking VFO s
Guy, I use 2 RX of K3 with 2 different antennas pointed in two directions. With this scheme I often use audio A/B swapping witch is not working in DIVERCITY. I sure can program LINK into PF button but PF1 in my case is already programmed to switch speaker on/off and PF2 - to invoke audio A/B switching. I can adapt to the new firmware with DIVERSITY single press but still I find it less convenient then what we had before that. 73, Igor UA9CDC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Guy Olinger K2AV" <[email protected]> To: "Igor Sokolov" <[email protected]> Cc: "Don Wilhelm" <[email protected]>; "Paul VanOveren" <[email protected]>; "elecraft reflector" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 26, 2016 6:26 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Linking VFO s > Going back quite a while, a lot of us complained to Elecraft that > diversity > RX, which is a top reason for having a second RX at all, was really clunky > as it was originally implemented on the SUB button.
