RE[Elecraft] V Button - Rig Comfort

[ab2tc]

Maybe we can all continue this subject on this thread? No S/W design changes
are necessary. The radio already has an A/B button as does nearly any other
modern radio, certainly the entire ICOM line and I believe TenTec. Just tap
the A/B button, do your tuning on the other frequency, tap A/B again and
you're back. Many split errors right now on 14205 (9x03 - gud sig here in
CNY). I think in most cases this error occurs because you forget to turn the
SPL function on.
