You have to integrate SO2V operation with the logging software. If you
just switch VFO's, you have to switch back to run mode when you go back
to the run frequency. Any small delay improves the chances you'll miss a
contact or lose the frequency, so it has to be very fast. With the
software I
Gernot,
If you have the subRX, why not tune to listen for those off-frequency
stations with the VFO B knob. Your transmit frequency is unchanged on
VFO A, so no need for RIT unless you are only listening to the mainRX.
An easy VFO A>B pushbutton will put VFO on the same frequency as VFO A
John,
the issue with SO2V is that you want to stay on your run frequency, but
be able to slightly tune up and down to hear callers which are not
exactly on your TX freq. RIT comes in handy here, as you just press RIT
or CLR after the QSO is finished. I don't have a K-POD, but if it would

"Of course if you get too far away from your run frequency, you'll have
to increase the P3 span so that you can still the VFO B cursor"
Therein lies the problem: With the span set to more than 10 kHz, it's
very hard to resolve CW signals on the P3. A VGA display would help, of
course, but I'd

Yes, that is exactly the issue. When unassisted, using the P3 is the
best method I've found for finding new contacts. However, the span has
to be 10 kHz, or it's too hard to resolve cw
If you have a K-Pod it is just as easy to tune with VFO B while running on
A. Is the issue the way the P3 is used to move in on a signal? I have K-Pod
buttons to turn RIT on and off and also to clear the offset.

Thanks, Gernot. I came to the same conclusion. I also tried using
"BSET", but it doesn't enable the RIT on VFO B. Maybe a firmware update
could fix that?

Scott,
I looked at the programmer ref manual and realized there is only one
RIT/XIT, which is controlling VFO A. I guess there are two choices left:
- either you press A/B to switch to your CQ VFO.
- or you try to mimick RIT of VFO B via FBxxx; commands with the help of
an external control
I've found that during some contest operation, it's handy to call CQ on
VFO B, while using VFO A to search and pounce. (Known as Single Operator
2 VFO mode, SO2V.) That way, when unassisted, I can use the P3 to locate
promising signals. However, I sometimes wish the RIT would work with the
