[Elecraft] k3 : Split Operation - update

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

according to my rev D1 K3 manual, pg37

VFO B controls the sub’s frequency, and is also the
TX frequency during SPLIT (see details at right).


and 'right' says

SPLIT Mode with the Sub Receiver
During split (SPLIT), VFO A is the receive
frequency and VFO B the transmit frequency. If the
sub receiver is on, you can listen to both receive
and transmit frequencies, making DXing more
convenient. You can set up the sub receiver’s
filtering independently using BSET.


So I think I can't do it, that is use the large knob to control the  
KRX3, thereby making tuning into the DX receive frequency easier.

I don't see how you can do that, but not having the KRX3 installed yet  
doesn't help.
(Note to self to promise to install after JOTA).
