Hmmm ... I've never used XIT except to test it. When working DX split,
I usually use both the VFO's in SPLIT mode. It takes me several moments
to get it right, but it usually takes me quite awhile to break a pileup
and once I have it set, the operation of the radio seems more natural to
me. [Must remember to cancel SPLIT after I've copied his 5NN and sent
mine, however :-) ]
On a several occasions however, I've come across a station QSX up with
only a little pileup, and I've searched for the guy he's working with
the tuning dial. I then tap RIT, tune RIT back down to his QRG real
quick and call him. It's less intuitive for me than standard SPLIT, but
I can make it happen much faster. One problem with this, however is
that my RIT only goes about 800 Hz either way (is that adjustable
somewhere?) so his QSX has to be close to his tx freq.
I guess the K2 provides options for everyone.
