I can't recall which one, but I had a radio that worked exactly this way. My suggestion would be not to change existing button usage at all, but do as Vic suggests, and allow a programmable button to be set to a "quick split," that would equalize frequency (or maybe put in a variable offset), turn on SUB and go into SPLIT mode. Then it could be used or ignored at will. 73, andy, ae6y ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vic K2VCO" <[email protected]> To: "Bill W4ZV" <[email protected]> Cc: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2009 10:18 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3: "Qick Split"
