[Elecraft] Linked VFO's -- usage?

[Don Wilhelm]

Guy,

Being 'old fashioned', I would build a small box with 2 toggle switches 
to do that function (assuming I wanted it).  That would allow quick 
determination of which audio goes into which ear.  left ear receives 
either A or b, and the other switch does the same for the right ear.
Yes, I would not attempt to use the front panel, but the switch box 
would make instant selections suited to my needs at the time.  A quick 
glance at the toggle switch positions would tell me what I am listening 
to and can be changed more quickly than making such a change inside the K3.

73,
