[Elecraft] K3S Split Operation

[Victor Rosenthal 4X6GP]

You can operate SPLIT, you just can't listen to two frequencies at the 
same time. Just hold the SPLIT key. Then set VFO A to your receive 
frequency and VFO B to the transmit frequency. You can temporarily 
switch the VFOs by holding the REV key. When you let go, it switches back.

So when you are working a DX pileup, you tune in the DX station 
normally.  Then tap A->B to put both VFOs on the same frequency. Then 
you hold SPLIT to separate RX and TX. Then hold REV and tune until you 
hear the guy the DX is working. Release REV and you will hear the DX 
again, and your transmit frequency will be where you want to call.
