[Elecraft] What is REV next to VFO A LCD indicator?

[Don Wilhelm]

Uncle Phil,

There are 2 different "REV"s and they are not related.

First, the REV button - it will swap the VFOs for as long as you hold 
it.  Handy when working SPLIT when you do not have the subRX installed - 
hold it to listen to the pileup, release it to hear the DX station.

Second the the "REV" that appears on the right side of the display (near 
the mode indicator).
That is the 'Reverse Sideband' and will be turned on or off by holding 
the ALT button (on the MODE rocker switch).  You will see it in CW and 
DATA modes - other modes do different things when the ALT button is held.

73,
Don W3FPR
