[Elecraft] I did it again!

[Doug Turnbull]

Fred,
   You are just a good operator but I sometimes do forget that I have not
changed my TX over to VFO B even though VFO B has been set up 5 kHz.   This
is why I need the P3 to place a stick of dynamite in a private place and
light it when I attempt to transmit on a DX station.   Maybe a flashing or
more distinct VFO B cursor indication for when it is chosen for TX would
help.   Flashing beats red for me as I am partially colour blind.   This is
not a P3 fault but an operator fault and an old man looking for extra help.
God, I hate making this mistake.   The radio is not at fault the operator
is, mea maxima culpa.

                           73 Doug EI2CN

I must be really missing some "features" in my K3, I'm not having any of 
these problems with transmitting on one frequency and listening on 
another.  Other than some AGC settings and TX EQ settings I got from 
K9YC, I pretty much run it "out of the box."  I haven't been arrested by 
the DX Cops -- yet -- I seem to be able to work the DX in split mode 
[occasionally, I call more than I work],  and my KUSB "thingy" works 
just fine with N1MM, K3 Utility, and K3_EZ.  I'm beginning to wonder if 
I'm missing something.  Maybe I need the second receiver.
