[Elecraft] Split receiving and 2 ears

[Peter Dougherty]

One thing I would add here is the L-Mix-R setting in the config menu, which controls which VFOs go in which ear. As a DXer who loves working pileups, I can tell you the best combination for me is A-Ab; meaning VFO A Audio (the DX station transmitting) is present in the left ear, and mixed in with the pileup (VFO-B) audio in the right ear. 

You can adjust that setting to taste (make sure you have the Sub-RX enabled first when you go into that menu item), but for me, A-Ab is the way to go. Try the different combinations to see which works best for you.

I can give you a scenario  that may make it easier to understand; this presumes you have the sub rx installed.

The DX is staying on one TX frequency, put that in the VFO A, leave it alone.  Have your TX set to split on VFO B.  Go into split RX so you can hear both; using the VFO B to listen to the station that the DX is working now (in your right ear).

Once you determine (by tracking/listening) to the direction the DX is listening (up, down or not) to work the pileup, you put the VFO B on your intended 'attack' point.  At this time, you can hear what is there, plus the DX.  (This is where a bandscope REALLY pays off, MUCH simpler.)

Presuming the DX fades and you need more signal to hear, you turn off split and you're listening only to the DX (VFO A) while VFO B is ready for split TX.

If you're listening split for another reason, you make the frequency you need to hear alone in VFO A by pushing the A/B button, then turn off split, two buttons max.
