[K3] [Elecraft] VFO A tracks VFO b, Help

[ab2tc]

Hi all,

I see the lack of crossband A/B switch as a real shortcoming of the K3. I am
used to using the A/B switch for a quick excursion to another band to check
for band conditions. I realize that with crossband *split* operation, full
QSK is not possible because of the many relays involved, but crossband A/B
switching should be child's play even without the subreceiver. Please,
Elecraft, fix this, even on units without the subreceiver. I don't think
there is another transceiver on the market that doesn't allow this. My $450
IC-718 certainly does.
