[Elecraft] K3: "Qick Split"

[W0MU Mike Fatchett]

Quick split is a single button that puts the radio in split and the other
vfo split x number of KC's away.  It just saves some button pushing.
Obviously if the station is working a weird split then you still have to
move the b vfo.

It sets the B vfo to the same mode moves it up 5 or 10. Sets the transmit to
B etc.

I have no clue how the 7800 did it as I never owned one.

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 ....
