Bob,
A.. Now I get it!
Thanks for the VFO IND information.
Yes, I think you have a valid reason to want that feature, as long as the VFO
frequencies don't change unless you are QSX cross-band.
Thank you for the direct email exchange and enlightenment regarding VFO IND. I
enjoyed it.
If the Split function were to include a A-B like I suggested
recently, this would not be an issue.
Some condemned this suggestion as a bad idea, but I doubt that they
operate much or they would know what a pain in the neck this is.
No, I operate More than enough to know how much of a
a problem.
73,
Bob W5OV

If VFO B is not on the same band, you are correct. However, there
are plenty of times that one might want to use cross mode split -
it is quite common in VHF operation.
You can avoid the VFO
Bob,
Why should it do that?
The description of what you want to happen would cause me, who primarily uses
split to work CW DX, to have to retune my B VFO to the DX listening frequency,
which is much more trouble than double tapping AB to put both VFO's on the same
frequency.
In addition,
All,
It has been pointed out to me that I misread Bob's post.
It turns out that I did indeed read it wrong.
Apologies to all...

How about just making the SPLIT button one that can be programmed via macros.
Seems more reasonable than the current situation that often results in
calling on top of a DX station when you meant to be split.

I would strongly support that proposal: for a config option[1] to

Exactly. I'm a new K3 owner (~1 week) and had the same issue a few days into
ownership.VFO B was in a mode other than DATA A.
To prevent it from happening again, I added a double tap of A-B to my go
to RTTY macro, which copies the mode of VFO A to VFO B, so both VFOs are
always the proper

The logic should be:

I just noticed that on some bands using DATA A split is not available.
I have looked in the Configuration but have overlooked something somewhere.
Anybody got a clue??
Check to see whether both VFOs were not only in the same band, but also
in the same mode. Cross-mode split
