[Elecraft] K2 SPLIT MODE AND LOGGER 32

Thanks for your helpful explanation Brian, but this talk of split 
operation is slightly misleading from what I am asking for.  

When I am operating normally (not split operation), I prefer to use 
the large VFO knob of the K2 (instead of the smaller RIT knob) to 
tune the received station in if it is slightly off my transmit 
frequency.  To do this I have to put the K2 into split mode.

If I have understood what you have said correctly, if the FA command 
was used (instead of the FR command), then this would set the VFO A 
frequency without taking the K2 out of split mode?  By not using  the 
FB command, I assume the VFO B frequency would not be set, thus 
stopping true split operation?

If that is the case, then can I ask you on behalf of me (and other K2 
users who prefer using the VFO knob to the RIT knob), to use your 
influence on the Logger 32 Development Team to try and persuade them 
to use the FA command (instead of the FR command) to set the VFO A 
frequency.  

I don't mind them not using the FB command and not being able to have 
true split operation if that is what they want.
