I wouldn't say it's all that rare. In a mixed-mode contest it can be handy to be able to jump between modes and sub-bands just by hitting the A/B button. If you want to go to a predetermined frequency, you can use a memory, but if you want to return to the last frequency you used on the other mode, or go to a frequency you have pre-dialed in using the VFO B knob, you can just press A/B. In fact, I often leave A and B in different modes during normal operating, just to be able to jump back and forth quickly between CW and digital modes at the press of a single button. If A and B were always in the same mode, this kind of jump would be made more difficult. 73, Rich VE3KI ______________________________________________________________ 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
