[Elecraft] [K3] clarification on VFO and 2nd Rx

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

You might have seen my post asking for clarification too. I'm pretty sure
KRX3 will always use VFOb and can not be switched at present.
My understanding is that with the sub on, its audio goes to the right
channel of the stereo output and VFOa's audio goes to the left channel.
That's regardless of SPLIT or not.
So in a pile-up, you can here both the freq when the op is working split.
In other situations, you might be calling on a fixed freq and listening for
CQs on other freq.


Forgive me if I've got this wrong, as I said, I mailed for clarification
too.
