While I'm waiting for my K3, I wonder if people would comment on the best
way to work split - my logging program (MacLoggerDX) does it via the 2nd
VFO.
I think from older articles I've read, some people use RIT (or XIT), perhaps
on rigs that didn't have a 2nd VFO.
What do you guys use - I suppose it depends on mode and how much split?
Split situations for me are nearly always for an entity I need, usually
DXpeditions. I always use "SPLIT" on the K2 because I can fix my TX
freq, and I can adjust it separate from the RX as the pile-up changes.
I've probably used RIT for a quick split operation maybe twice. The
problems with RIT:
1. Changing your TX freq with the VFO changes your RX freq too
2. For comfortable use, the range on the RIT needs to be smaller. The
K2 lets me choose, but big ranges make it very hard to tune with the
little knob.
I've never used XIT.
