No flame intended, but it certainly doesn't take "several" keystrokes.
As a test, I set my sub-receiver to 20m SSB and my main receiver to 40m CW (I'm beta testing the software for independent receive). All it took was to tap A -> B, hold the SAME BUTTON for split, and spin the VFO B knob to be ready to go for a split transmission on 40m CW. It took less than two seconds for everything. It almost seems like some forethought by Elecraft went into the choice of buttons to use ;) I bet it would take at least two seconds to cycle through a few stacked fixed offsets (say 1/2/5 KHz) by holding the split button multiple times. For myself, I simply don't consider it an enhancement to clutter up the menus with capabilities that have already been addressed, but maybe I'm just more of a knob twirler and less of a button pusher. To each his own ... 73, Dave AB7E Dave - N1LQ wrote: >> Sent: Monday, February 16, 2009 1:28 PM >> To: [email protected] >> Subject: [Elecraft] K3: "Qiuck Split" >> >> It's an excellent feature that automates several keystrokes and gets you >> there or 'near there' in a real hurry. >> >> If you chase DX seriously have had it before you will want it again.
