Quick split is a single button that puts the radio in split and the other vfo split x number of KC's away. It just saves some button pushing. Obviously if the station is working a weird split then you still have to move the b vfo.
It sets the B vfo to the same mode moves it up 5 or 10. Sets the transmit to B etc. I have no clue how the 7800 did it as I never owned one.

This is simply not the case, if this is what's is being lobbied for. If the DX is actually an exact "5 kHz" up, there will still be a need to change of one's TX frequency involved on almost every transmission ... or should be ... if one is an astute DX'er. Do people actually simply go "up five" and blindly call? Really? K5D is an example ... they are spending hours listening DOWN. I've worked them this way on four bands so far. I did this when operating from there ... and other DX locations ... BTW. My most-used control in working SPLIT is the A/B button. A quick poke of A/B and a tune of the A VFO to put it on the "last worked" station in the pileup and another poke of the A/B button to put the that frequency in the B VFO. How could this be simpler? I'm an old poop. Maybe I'm missing something .... 73!
