Wayne,
The two-tap operation makes a lot of sense for those who have the
sub-receiver installed, because for other than diversity receive, one
would not necessarily want to change the filter settings when doing an
A>B copy. VHF ops would likely also not want to change the mode.
So for the benefit of those with the KRX3, I would think it should be
left as it is now.
BUT, for those without the sub-rx installed, the single tap does
everything operation is probably more appropriate.
Is there any wisdom in making the operation dependent on the sub-rx? If
not, a menu item would be in order to satisfy the tastes of different
users. There are good reasons on each side.

Doug,
There was plenty of logic behind it, but in hindsight it might not
sense for all users. (It did meet with the approval of our 20 field
testers.)
The change was motivated by the sub receiver. Here's one example:
Suppose you're using SPLIT, listening to a weak DX station on the main
RX (in a very narrow bandwidth with preamp on), while tuning for a
clear spot with the sub RX (using a wider bandwidth and preamp off).
With one tap of A>B you can move VFO B back to the starting point and
work your way up again. If this also copied VFO A's filter and preamp
settings (etc.) to VFO B, you'd have to set them up all over again.
But I'll be happy to sit back and listen to arguments pro and con. If
it looks like a lot of operators would prefer to copy everything with
one tap, I could add a menu entry. If no one argues in favor of
two-tap (including the field testers), I could change it outright. I'm
easy :)
Thanks for your input.
