I've tried it both ways personally, and I guess through 18 years of hardcore
DXing I got used to the DX on VFO-A and the pileup on VFO-B. But the
argument could certainly be made for the opposite way. I'd wager that's how
Dxpeditions operate, transmitting on VFO-B and scanning the pileup on VFO-A.

The Left-Mix-Right menu option is great, since it allows you to easily do
whichever mode seems right for your style of operating.

I have always thought the K3 did it backwards.
Before the K3 I had a transceiver and a seperate RX above it.
The Receiver listened to the DX station and the Transceiver would tune to
find who was working him at the moment. Then the pounce!
So with the K3 I don't use the SPLIT button. I use the Sub on the DX station
and I lock it and then I use the transceiver knob to find the guys working
split. If you have a P3 attached you can see it and the P3 will put you
there instantaneously.

I think that's a better way to work split. Would love to hear from those
that agree or disagree.
