Not only that, if you have VFO A locked on the DX freq, when you press REV,
the VFO A knob is temporarily unlocked so you can change your TX frequency.
Release REV and you go back to locked on the DX on VFO A.  Very clever!

I used exactly this method to work FT5GA last night for  DXCC #327 on
Topband.  BIG SMILES!
