[Elecraft] Split Operation

[Wayne Burdick]

This is discussed briefly on page 38 of the owner's manual ("SPLIT mode with the sub receiver"). I think of it as "implied split." I have posted about this technique on a few occasions. It has the advantage that you can tune the pileup with the large VFO A knob, and you don't have to engage in endless debate about how to enhance SPLIT mode.
