[Elecraft] Split not available

[harrytheham at verizon.net]

I configured my K3's RIT button (push hold) to engage split with the VFO B freq 5kHz up from VFO A, and the XIT button (push hold) to clear split.

For split the macros I put together are: SWT13; SWT13; FT1; UPB7; RT0; XT0
For clear split the macros are: FT0; RT0; XT0; LN0; SW000

Hope this helps,

Harry WE1X

I would strongly support that proposal: for a config option[1] to 
redefine the SPLIT button (hold A>B) as a programmable function key, 
which users could then assign to their personalized version of 'advanced 
split'.

The macro facility is one of the very best features of the K3, but it 
has caused some problems of its own. The existing programmable keys can 
become heavily over-used, because all of them serve other functions as 
well, while keys like SPLIT that have been replaced become idle.

While we're looking around for under-used keys, there must be many KRX3 
owners who don't use the REV button any more. A further option[1] could 
therefore be to redefine (tap REV) and (hold REV) as two more 
programmable keys.


[1]  "Option" is the key word here. The reason for requesting these 
enhancements as config options is so that the default SPLIT and REV 
functions can remain exactly as they are now.
