[Elecraft] Linked VFO's -- usage?

[Cady, Fred]

Hi All,
In the current K3 firmware (going back a few versions) you can link VFO A and B with the CONFIG:VFO LNK menu.  You used to get them linked by holding SUB, but now that turns on diversity.  A good change.  Linked VFOs is not diversity, in which VFO A controls the main and sub receivers independently of VFO B.  In linked mode the two receivers remain independently controlled by their own VFOs but when you tune VFO A, VFO B tracks along. Tuning VFO B doesn't change VFO A.

So, I'm wondering what others are using linked VFOs for?  

Cheers and 73,
