[Elecraft] RIT range

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Hi Bart:

I can't answer your RIT control range question specifically because I don't
use RIT, but I know how you can have receiver-only tuning across the whole
band. That is, you can adjust your receive frequency anywhere you want in
the band without affecting your transmitting frequency.

Use SPLIT mode. 

With SPLIT enabled, simply tap A=B any time you're tuned to a frequency on
which you want to transmit. For example, you can do that after tuning in a
station calling CQ, or after finding a clear frequency where you want to
transmit. 

Once you've tapped A=B, your transmit frequency is now moved to whatever
frequency you are listening on. Now you can continue to use the "big knob"
to tune around without affecting your transmit frequency at all. It will
stay wherever it was when you tapped A=B, until you tap A=B again. 

I prefer using that method so I can do all my tuning with the "big knob", I
don't have to remember to turn RIT off later, and I can tune to any
frequency I want within the band.

Hi Gang,

I am new to the list, even though, I have been an Elecraft fan for years(K1
#907).

I now have a new to me K2 #1543.  I have already fallen in love with it.  I
have a small problem.  I would like to go to the wider RIT range---I have
read the manual several times and have decided that I must be dense---how do
you get this into the PF1 memory.  I would rather just have it become the
default setting without having to use PF1 but if I have to, I will do it
that way.

Thanks for any info!
