[Elecraft] K3 VFO B problems

I tried this yesterday, but I failed to give sufficient information to 
describe my VFO B problems.

K3 1248

Firmware version 2.46

Software N1MM

P4 1.6 GB PC

microHam microkeyer

Working CQWWSSB mostly split on 40.

One problem and two areas of confusion.

1. When I attempt to us BSet, and leave the K3 in that mode for a period 
of time while pushing buttons to adjust VFO B, I get a connection to 
radio lost message. Not every time but often. I hit retry and it 
reconnects immediately. Not sure if a certain button sequence triggers 
this, but it is always involving BSet.

2. The manual says I should be able to directly adjust VFO B with BSet. 
Does that include direct frequency entry? If so how. I can't make it work.

3. Is it possible to have VFO A tuning at one rate (slow) and VFO B 
tuning at another (Fast). This would simplify split tuning on 40m.
