[Elecraft] Re:REV operation

[George, W5YR]

The REV switch function is one of the most valuable and useful switches on
the K2!

Situation: you are working split, transmitting on A and listening to the
Fox on B. When the fox turns it over, you want to listen around your own
transmitting frequency to see who he went back to and where they are. Just
push and hold the REV button and now you are listening on A and can tune
around, while holding the button down, to find the frequency you want to
use to call the Fox next. Release the button and make your call on A and
listen on B as before. Quick and easy . . .

The Icom 756PRO has a similar button and it has proved invaluable in Fox
Hunting. I was delighted to find that the K2 also provides this function.

Ooops! Gave away a Fox Hunting secret!    <:}
