Peter,

Turn on SPLIT - you will see that the little TX arrow to the right of 
the display now points to VFO B (It was pointing at A before engaging 
SPLIT).
That arrow tells you which VFO will be used for transmit.
Turn the VFO B knob to the frequency you want to use for transmit.
If you have the subRX installed you can turn it on and listen to the 
transmit frequency in one ear.
Without the subRX, hold the REV button to temporarily listen to your 
transmit frequency.  Release the button to hear your receive frequency 
again.

That is all there is to it.  If you now re-read the manual or the Cady 
book, you may understand it better.

73,
Don W3FPR

Then, when I see on the ON4KST chatroom that the other station is monitoring say 144.380 to be able to set the rig up to Tx on that frequency automatically when I Tx on FSK441. Then, return to the Rx frequency when FSK441 automatically goes to Rx. I don't want to be manually switching VFOs as per what it seems to be saying in Freds book

In this respect EME is far easier - no split working which is one reason I've steered clear of FSK441 but I feel I'm missing out and need all the assistance I can get in obtaining DXCC on 2m!!!
