Is it possible to receive on VFO B, and transmit on VFO A? If so, how?
Set VFO A to the RX freq, set it to the mode you want, tap the A > B
button, tap the A/B button and swap the VFOs to make sure Both VFOs are
set to the same mode. Now hold the A>B button for at least a half
second. You will now be transmitting on VFO B and Receiving on VFO A.
This is a little more detailed than the instructions on page 34 of the
K3 Owners Manual under SPLIT Operation at the top left of the page.
I am seriously missing the AUTO SPLIT option which is available on many
other rigs. If configured, the SPLIT button automatically switches VFO B
to the same mode as VFO A, and then applies a pre-selected frequency
offset to VFO B (usually "up 1"). One press of a button and you're ready
to begin tuning the pileup.
By comparison, the K3 is much less nimble. Getting into the correct
configuration for split operation involves too many traps for the
unwary, the over-excited or the sleep-deprived ... and split operation
can involve all three of those conditions.
