[Elecraft] Why XIT when A->B/SPLIT works [Was:Re: Does knowing the DXpedition has K3's change your]

[Rick Prather]

My preferred way of doing this is a macro:

SWT13;SWT13;FT1;UPB5;RT0;XT0;

I have this assigned to my PF1 key and when a station says they are listening "up" I just hold PF1 and am ready to go.

This macro sets the split to 2 Khz but you can change the value of "UPB" to whatever your preferred initial split is.  For example if you prefer to start at 5 Khz split you can edit it to "UPB7" .

This has become my most used Macro!
