Lets see if anyone has any opinions on this: How about the possibility of a special single band split mode. After doing a bit of playing on this latest contest I saw possible value in a mode where direct entry automatically assumes you're going to stay on the same band.
So if you want to work split and the DX station says <my_call> listening on 225 and you're on 7.085 and you're in this special mode. Then you could just switch to the other VFO and press enter 225 and then pop back and be ready to rock and roll. Not having to enter the 7 or the 00 at the end could save you a bit of time. There are times where its something like 7.225.5 and for that one could possibly setup the RIT/XIT knob to be able to pull that off in one detent. Not sure what button I'd implement this on but something in the area of freq ent seems reasonable. Would be nice if you could skip the freq ent button in this mode too as that would make times even faster but would make operation of the rest of the rig a bit of an annoyance. Sorry if my operation is a bit vague but I don't have a K3 so I'm having to go just off of what I've read in the manual and of the operation of my TS-450Sat. Thanks much for your insights gentlemen. ~Brett (KC7OTG) _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
