[Elecraft] VFO/ split

[Brett Howard]

Yep you can do that just fine...  Here is how I'd do that... 

1. Get on your Freq with VFO A
2. Hold the Rate button in order to activate the lock feature
3. Press 1 or A/B to move this to the VFO B area (while still locked)
	3a.  Note that turning the VFO B knob does not adjust the VFO B
	     freq
4. Hold 3 to activate the split feature.  You'll note that the arrows
near the TX indicator will change to point down telling you that you're
going to be TXing on the VFO B Freq.  You should note that if you have a
mode flashing along with the arrow you're in a cross mode split.  This
means that VFO A and B are in two different modes.  If you have this
issue the fastest way to correct things is to press A/B then press A->B
twice quickly.  This puts the VFO B (TX Freq and mode) back into VFO A
then on the first press of A->B you'll send the same freq to VFO B the
second press will display "A->B ALL" which means that the mode and
filter settings and what not have been transferred as well.  Now press
A/B again to put your locked TX freq in B again.
5.  Ok now you can adjust your RX freq with the VFO A knob and you'll
notice that as soon as you move the two VFO's off freq with one another
that your deltaF light (amber light next to the TX light) illuminates.

If you have any further questions or if I've confused you with the A->B
information please feel free to inquire further.
