[Elecraft] K3 Diversity Question: RIT

[Randy Farmer]

I don't know which contest software package you may be using. If you're 
running N1MM+ Logger the solution to this dilemma is to equalize the A 
and B VFOs at the beginning of the run and then turn on Split mode. Then 
your transmitter will be locked to the VFO B frequency and the receiver 
can be tuned with the big knob rather than the little RIT knob. This 
works fine in Diversity mode and I use it all the time for running. N1MM 
also has a nice configuration feature that will automatically retune the 
receiver to the TX frequency every time you log a station (at least if 
you're using ESM).

Normally no trouble, as I just use my trusty RIT control to move up and copy him, so I can keep my TX on the original frequency. But, in Diversity, the second VFO remains on the original frequency rather than tracking with the main RX. As a result, I get two signals until I clear the RIT.
