I assume that the reason for this is that the second RX, if fitted, will
listen on VFO B. Therefore VFO A is always the main RX.

I don't see what difference it makes to the K3 *user*, since unlike the K2
there is no indication on the display of which VFO is in use for receiving.
It *does* make a difference for the software developer, since if you are
changing the frequency by software control you have to figure out which VFO
is being used. For the K3 you just set VFO A every time, which is simpler.
