My K2 is permanently in "SPLIT" even though I last used "SPLIT" probably =
six
months ago. That is "Split" meaning that I was working a station on =
another
frequency some distance from my xmit frequency.
I use SPLIT instead of RIT, since it allows me to do my RIT "tuning" =
using
the big tuning knob instead of that dinky little knob under the buttons.
It's nice to be able to wobble the big knob about if the other guy is a =
tad
off freq, or if I want to hear a slightly different sidetone, etc.=20
In RIT you have to remember to turn it off when "setting up" on another
frequency. In SPLIT all I do is tap A=3DB to put the miter on whatever
frequency I'm tuned to.
In any case, it's worth getting it working right. =20

One small possible glitch I think I encountered was that the VFO button=20
when tapped does not take me from VFO A to VFO B. It just stays on A. =
Nor=20
does the button, when in HOLD, go to VFO Reverse (probably not =
surprising=20
given the lack of the second vfo to show up...)
SIn any case it is a minor issue to me since I rarely if ever work split =
nor
do I have to set one versus another for any favourite frequencies.
