[Elecraft] K3 - second receiver for split ?

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Jim,

We see a lot of similar questions on the reflector. Self experimentation is
probably the best method for you to fully understand the use of the P3 with
respect to VFO B and split operation. Just remember the three cursor colors.
VFO-A is green. VFO-B is magenta. When you are transmitting on a frequency
other than VFO-A a red cursor appears. It will show up when you are in split
(SPLT) or if XIT is turned on. There are additional identifiers on the K3
screen. the TX arrow points to "B". The delta f LED under the power button
is illuminated. 

Sometimes the red and magenta cursors overlap and you only see red. If you
change the bandwidth of the SUB RX the cursors will vary in width and you'll
see both. If the span of the P3 is quite wide the cursors are very narrow
and you might not see these finer distinctions. If your span is narrow the
red and magenta cursors might be off the P3 screen as denoted by a small
arrow on the right or left side of the screen.

Experiment and have fun.

73,
Mike K2MK
