[Elecraft] LINK uses?

[Brian Alsop]

Fred,

Here are two uses for VFO linking w/o diversity.  I'm sure there are others.

Single SDR/panadapter/skimmer on VFO B IF.  During everyday operation 
linking the VF0's allows display of what's on VFO A centered on VFOA 
frequency. The only other alternative would be an a/b switch or a second 
SDR + additional sound card for VFOA.  I've been toying with that idea 
but $$ and no more slots on MB says no.

Another use is when you want a permanent S+1 or S+5 split while tuning 
for DX.  Link and set VFOB +x up.
