[Elecraft] K3 Sub-receiver RIT

[K9MA]

You have to integrate SO2V operation with the logging software. If you 
just switch VFO's, you have to switch back to run mode when you go back 
to the run frequency. Any small delay improves the chances you'll miss a 
contact or lose the frequency, so it has to be very fast. With the 
software I use, ctl-right arrow switches both tx and rx to VFO B, and 
moves to the VFO B logging window. Ctl-left arrow switches back to VFO 
A. There's no issue with using RIT when running on A and searching with 
B, but then the P3 can't be used to find new signals more than 10 kHz 
from the run frequency. Running on B solves that problem, but then 
there's no RIT when running.

Actually, while RIT on the search and pounce VFO is most important, XIT 
is more useful when running. The ideal SO2V radio would allow RIT on B 
and XIT on A, automatically switching with the logging software.
