I would not recommend trying crossband split until the sub receiver is finished and the firmware modified to allow it. Brett's proposal is stricly a shortcut for in-band split. When the firmware is done for the sub receiver you sill be able to control the frequency and other functions of VFO B by a number of ways, including the BSET function, VFO B knob and A/B.
