[Elecraft] Sub RX and P3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Andy,

First it's easier to see what's going on if you turn off the A and B
markers. You just want to see the cursors to get a better handle on how they
operate. And you want to activate the VFO-B cursor in the P3 menu.

VFO-A has a green cursor. VFO-B has a Magenta cursor. There is no separate
cursor for the SUB RX. It is just the VFO-B cursor. If you choose SPLIT
there is an additional cursor in Red. The Red cursor denotes your transmit
frequency when it differs from VFO-A. You'll also see the Red cursor if you
choose XIT. The Red cursor may be the same width as the magenta cursor so it
might be invisible when operating SPLIT. If you fiddle with the bandwidth
knob after pushing BSET you'll be able see the difference between the Red
and Magenta Cursors.

73,
Mike K2MK
