[Elecraft] K3 - CQ WPX and RIT

[Lee Buller]

Some of us contesters have commented about using the K3 in last weekend's WPX Contest.  One of those comments which seem to repeat itself is about the RIT control.

Although I found the control to be OK....I would like to see one change or menu item option.  I would like the K3 to forgo the "B" VFO read out when I am running stations and show me just the RIT and XIT offset.  In a contest (for the most part) one is not working split.  Yes, I know about 40 meters!  This would not always work for every contest, but I would find it convenient for most of them.  I wonder if this could be done using I or II and be able to toggle back and forth in a macro.

Again, I am not sure what is possible and what is not.  

Then again, I might have a strange taste here and others would flame me to a crisp.  It is just an idea.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?
