Larry,

The K3 will set the mode, frequency, etc. of VFO B the same as VFO A if 
you tap A->B twice.

The K3 *can* transmit cross-mode if you set it up as indicated on page 
36 of the manual.
With cross-mode operation possible, it is not desirable to set all 
parameters of VFO B to the same as VFO A unless the operator intends to 
do exactly that.  Thus the double tap is required.
