[Elecraft] Location of VFO B on the K4

[wb6rse1 at mac.com]

I use the B VFO control very often. Once I tune to a station that's operating CW split, I press the PF1 button on my K3 to run a macro that turns on the second receiver, sets its bandwidth and enables TX up 1 KHz. My hand then moves to the B VFO control for TX frequency adjustments based on my success vs what I hear the DX send and what I see on the P3.

I almost never use RIT.

I too would have placed the K4 B VFO knob in a location similar to the K3's.

Taking a closer look at the K4, I see four programmable buttons (vs two on the K3). If I were to use PF1 for the same macro as above my hand would already be right there to tune the B VFO.

Of course the proof is in the actual experience. I suspect getting use to position of the K4 B VFO control will be quick.

Looks like cognitive science at work.
