Hi Joel, You can only use VFO B for transmit when you're in split mode, at present. You found a clever work-around, but I don't recommend doing it this way. Be sure to monitor your TX signal if you do; the synth or filters may not be set up correctly on TX.
As someone else already posted, it is possible to get a buffered I.F. output from the sub receiver, but this has not been tested by Elecraft. It'll probably work, based on what I read, and we did provide a connector for it on the sub RX itself. 73, Wayne N6KR Joel R.
