Hello Dick,
That could be done but I would have to manually turn the sub Rx on to
do this, if I am to hear both. Hearing is not mandatory but it is an
asset. And more, it is somewhat disconcerting to use P3 marker A to
affect the K3's VFO B receiver and, P3 marker B with the K3s VFO
A
No, not intuitive.
MKR B is the VFO B frequency. Often one wants to listen on the B frequency.
It may be on another band.
SPLIT is a special case, not the norm.

Bill,
Understood that some only use it that way, that is not my norm
though. I chase DX and If I engage the magenta operation with the P3,
its to be transmitting on a DX's listening frequency and in all those
cases I will be split.
Since 1979 I've never listened on two bands simultaneously
just a thought
how about creating a macro that does what you want...?

Another thought how about putting the magenta marker on the DX
transmit frequency, and roam up with the A green main knob? And leave
split off.

Hi Peter,
There are several ways to do what for me are work-arounds but all
require doing several things to accomplish what to me should be a one
step operation, leave out a step I hear the cops yelling UP LID or
worse only to see the QSY did not engage transmit and I was

No, I've never made a macro, no idea how I'd approach that to
accomplish this. If it would work I'd be willing to try. What I was
expecting as an built-in option though would be beneficial for anyone
who operates as I do.

This is what I've learned to do. The only problem is that once you enter
this mode, if you want to fool with selectivity, APF, shift, etc. to
hear the DX better, you must press BSET first.

That's not how it was designed to work. Enabling split anytime Marker B
was tapped would be disruptive to most users.
In the vast majority of cases setting/tapping Marker B says this is an
Hi Gary,
I understand your need and as others have indicated it's not really how most
folks use markers. My findings have been that the markers are not optimum
for split DX chasing.
When DX is operating split I immediately hold the SPLIT button and turn on
the SUB RX and then spin the VFO B
Gary,
If you are willing to push a different button than MKRB, you can modify your
DX split procedure by using the PF1 and PF2 buttons to execute a macro that
puts turns the sub-receiver on, copies VFO settings from A to B to make sure
they are on the same band and consistent, sets VFO B to be

I listen to the station and they say UP so I know to hold in the MKR
