[Elecraft] K3 Split questions

[K2MK]

Hi Mike:

I  have a SUB RX so it is possible that my comments below might not fully 
apply if you don't have a SUB RX.

VFO A and B can be on separate modes. When you hold the A/B (1) button 
you'll see b SET on the top display. From there you can change modes, fiddle 
with filters, preamp, NR, etc.. The settings for VFO B can therefore be 
totally different than VFO A. Some things that you can't change will say N/A 
when you try to change them.

However, if you want to avoid being in a different mode I would suggest 
pressing the A-B (3) button twice. The first press copies the frequency from 
A to B. The second press forces all of your selections in VFO B to mirror 
VFO A. I always do this before going into SPLIT. The annoying scenario I 
experienced before I learned to double press was when I was on CW and 
pressed split. I reached for my paddle but nothing transmitted. It turned 
out that VFO B was in the DATA mode. It took me a minute or two to figure 
out what was wrong.
