Now that I found the Diplay button, split is much easier. However it was nice to hit quick split and have the B VFO automatically = A VFO and have it jump up 5 or 10 KC. At that point I always tune for the last guy worked. The 5 or 10 KC split is just convenient.
It is by no means a show stopper either way. "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over."

How could this be simpler? > It's simpler to use REV which is momentary so you don't TX on the DX station when you invariably forget to poke A/B again. After awhile you can learn to tune the pileup with your left pinky while also depressing REV with your left index finger. Kenwood introduced this concept with "TF-SET" in the TS-930S in the early 1980s and Icom copied it with "XFC". I also question the usefulness of Quick Split. You need to learn to tune your TX to anticipate where DX is actually listening rather than where he says he **says** he's listening. They are often not the same! http://lists.contesting.com/archives//html/Topband/2002-03/msg00011.html 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Feature-request-tp2331196p2341060.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
