[Elecraft] K3: "Qick Split"

[Ken Kopp]

Doesn't "Quick Split" assume the DX is -always- located a 
fixed number of kHz away from "his" TX'ing frequency? This 
is simply not the case, if this is what's is being lobbied for.

If the DX is actually an exact "5 kHz" up, there will still be a 
need to change of one's TX frequency involved on almost every 
transmission ... or should be ... if one is an astute DX'er.  Do 
people actually simply go "up five" and blindly call?  Really?

K5D is an example ... they are spending hours listening DOWN.
I've worked them this way on four bands so far.  I did this when 
operating from there ... and other DX locations ... BTW.

My most-used control in working SPLIT is the A/B button.  A
quick poke of A/B and a tune of the A VFO to put it on the "last 
worked" station in the pileup and another poke of the A/B button
to put the that frequency in the B VFO.  How could this be simpler?

I'm an old poop.  Maybe I'm missing something ....
