[Elecraft] Question on P3 operation

John,

The VFO B has no direct relationship to the subRX.  The K3 simply has 2 
VFOs - try to think of it that way rather than anything about the subRX.
While it is a fact that with the subRX installed, VFO B is normally used 
for tuning the subRX, but that can be altered.
Without the subRX installed, and with SPLIT activated, VFO B will 
control the transmit frequency.
Observe the 'arrow' on the right of the display which indicates which 
VFO will be used for transmit.  The VFO B cursor on the P3 is another 
reminder of the TX VFO.

73,
