In very recent MCU firmware (soon to be in beta) you'll be able to set

That's what RIT and/or XIT give you. You can enable display
of the offset full time by tapping display and selecting the
offset with the VFO B knob. However, since one is not likely
to use RIT/XIT when split it
JMO, but, er can't we just use math? I.e. subtract or add what's in the
VFO B buffer to A? Seems to me this would create more clutter in the options
and add little of value that we can't just do in our heads to begin with.
The only use I could see for this is if you just want to blindly
I agree that would be a nice feature (and an optional one), but only if I
could see the split for a few seconds after the Split function is engaged
to allow me to easily set VFO B. For example, Icom's menu system on the
IC-7800 displays a number (+ or -) when you press and hold split; you dial
I think the split option is a good idea also. People go split in
different ways. If the split is close I almost always use the XIT. I have
a friend who always uses VFO B because he likes to see the frequency for VFO
B. Some logging programs record the split frequency when split using both
Some people like to incorporate the split
frequency into their log so even though an option would be to show the
delta, the output for logging purposes might remain frequency

like this to the option, which is likely
Like several others have commented, I see the option
as confusing and unwarranted. Working split is -so-
very easy, and is the way I -always- use my K3 ... or any

You're making too big a thing about this. It doesn't have to change the
way you operate. It doesn't suddenly make you pounce up 1 without
listening. It just gives you a different perspective of the environment

Hi Ted:
I personally like your idea and I would benefit from it. I realize that it
would be something you could turn on or off via the CONFIG or MENU or
DISPLAY buttons. I also realize that RIT/XIT give you this feature but if
you have the SUB RX installed it's more likely that you will want
everyone has their own
style and this option would just support that. All I'm suggesting is
that this be an option. No one would force you to use it.
But there's a cost - additional complexity to the K3 feature set. I submit
that you'd only want to do this if there's a compelling reason to do

Well LS, if the K3 is already setup _ideally_ for working split, as

Double tap AB. Hold SPLIT. Tap XIT. Current XIT setting
displays briefly. Change XIT to split offset desired. While turning
R/XIT knob the offset (e.g. +2.00) displays. When the knob ceases
turning, the VFO B reverts to the transmitting frequency

What I do is:

- send my call, and so on
- adjust the VFO B frequency as needed.
What I'd like is:

Now you have two knobs to bump that can change your TX freq. The advantage IMHO
to using just XIT is that it allows one to listen on his TX freq by just
tapping RIT. (Assumes no 2nd RX---my situation)
If both knob B and the offset knob change the TX freq, neither RIT nor REV let
you hear your

Ken,
Mostly I here listening up 5 or sometimes listening up 5 to 10 etc. I
must be missing the listening up 2 thing.
While we are on this topic, I have an alternate frequency set on VFO B on
each band, pressing SPLIT means I usually have a lot of winding to do so I
have been using the XIT/RIT
Lately it seems that most CW DX stations I have worked are listening up 1 or 2.
Of course, for SSB they would want the bigger split of up 5 or so.
By changing the UPB value in those macros (which I had a little off) you
can change the split.
For example:
SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;
Up 1 or Up 2 is the normal split for CW. Up 5 is about the minimum split for
SSB and up 5 to 10 is common for big pileups (non-contest). Split operation is
not unheard of, but rare in major contests except for really rare DXpeditions.
The quick way to bet both VFOs on the same frequency is

Better tap AB twice in succession if there is any chance VFO B is on a
