[Elecraft] K3 SPLIT+2

[Stewart]

Hi Ted,
Many thanks for the info. I thought that I knew N1MM quite well, but
I had missed that feature. When my head recovers from the contest I will
try it.

The other thing I was looking for was the ability to directly enter a frequency
into VFO B, however it looks like the only way to do it is by entering in VFO A
and swapping (unless someone knows different :-))
