[Elecraft] Split using REV vs VFO A/B

[DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL]

Like others (and most recently, Bill, ZV), I have used the TF-SET
(Rev) for decades.  And like still others, I found myself doing "bad"
things for VP6 when using the K3.  Still not sure how that happened.
LOL.

As I previously posted here, but possibly worth repeating, I have now
changed my modus operandi for split operation to using (as also just
posted) the VFO A/B button instead of the REV button.

I LOCK VFO A on my listening frequency (the DX xmitting QRG).  When I
want to "tune around amongst the other callers," I tap A/B and tune
around.  When done (by whatever measure...taking too long or found the
guy being worked), I just tap A/B again.

I don't have to worry about "slipping" off of the REV button and
tuning the "wrong" VFO.  Equally, since the DX qrg was LOCKED, it is
impossible for me to tune the "wrong" VFO.

Like anything, you have to try it for a while to figure out if it will
really work for you or not.  After doing it both ways for a while, I
find that I don't use REV any longer.  A/B is both easier (no holding)
and safer (no chance of slipping off the button).

So...give it a try.  I think you'll like it!
