[Elecraft] reflections on the WPX contest

Wed Apr 2 14:59:00 2003

Had no problems using vfo A, vfo B and split mode for this.

Enter split mode

Set vfo A to receiving frequency. 

pick vfo B.

Set vfo b to transmitting frequency.

pick vfo A.

Transmit. 

Go back and forth between vfo A and vfo b to see what is on your transmit frequency. But only transmit when vfo A is picked.

Once you get used to it, it's a piece of cake. 

There are some subtleties you gain using a setup like that on an MP, but the K2 certainly services the essential needs of split operation.
