[Elecraft] P3 & marker B transmit freq.

[Gary Smith]

Reading the P3 screen I see a station transmitting. I use Marker A 
(Green) to pin me on that desired station as soon as I tap the knob 
to QSY me to a desired signal.

I listen to the station and they say UP so I know to hold in the MKR 
button to activate B ((Magenta) I see where the last transmission is 
and I place the Magenta marker at that location and tap: The Sub Rx 
goes to that frequency where the DX was last listening but sub is not 
engaged, it just sits on that frequency and does nothing with it.

Problem is that if I don't then reach over and manually hold the 
split button on the K3 itself to have the K3 transmit on the DX 
listening frequency, I'll still keep transmitting on the DX transmit 
frequency because the K3 will not have gone split; its as if the 
procedure is halted half way and it shouldn't function this way, its 
not intuitive.

If I'm going to the effort to engage Marker B to QSY its because I 
want to transmit on the Marker B frequency. What do I have to the do 
differently to force the K3 go split to transmit on the B freq when I 
tap on MKR B? 

Thanks,

Gary
