[Elecraft] OT: Up two ?

[Don Wilhelm]

Cookie,

Better tap A>B twice in succession if there is any chance VFO B is on a 
different mode (or ANT, etc) than VFO A.

Split operation is not unheard of, but rare in major contests except for really rare DXpeditions.  The quick way to bet both VFOs on the same frequency is to press the A>B button if the frequency is in A or A/B then A>B if the frequency you want is in B.
