I don't have enough time in to be a slave to tradition....<grin>. I'm still learning my K3.
What I do is: - find the DX - hit A > B - tune up the band using the VFO B - hold "Split" - send my call, and so on - adjust the VFO B frequency as needed. What I'd like is: - find the DX ( I enjoy finding DX without the cluster, but do use cluster for dxpeditions). - hold "Split" - Tap a button, and then hit "2" or "5" or some other number to quickly set the split frequency - send my call, and so on, - adjust the VFO B frequency as needed.
