The K3 requires FIVE distinct operations to set that up, leaving its owner several seconds behind the game. I strongly prefer the option of an offset frequency as a starting point for tuning VFO B, because an offset of zero is the DX station's own frequency - the one place we *don't* want to transmit! -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek ______________________________________________________________ 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
