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,
