[Elecraft] Band changing/mode changing

[.k8dd.]

Merv ....
You didn't say if you are using a PC or not .... With a PC, you can do 
this by clicking on DX spots and use a program that recognizes QSX in 
the spot.  You might have to put out a spot to get them both on the screen.

Otherwise ..... With no PC, and probably a better way to do it ....
Put VFO A 14025, VFO B 14027, CW, set your filter for each VFO if 
needed, SPLIT on and enter that into a memory location with M>V and M1

Then put VFO A 14195, VFO B 14200, SSB, set your filter for each VFO if 
needed, SPLIT on and enter that into M2 with M>V

Now V>M M1 and you are on the CW pileup
And V>M M2 and you are on the SSB pileup

But ..... In the heat of switching back and forth you must be VERY 
careful to use the V>M button - do not miss and use the V>M button 
because you will end up losing one of the memories and have two memories 
the same.

There is no safeguard on V>M ..... That is supposedly "on the list" to 
have a double tap of the V>M before it writes to the memory location, 
but there are too many other things ahead of it, I guess.
