Re: [TenTec] another basic question...

Carl, one also has to switch the Sub RX VFO (B) to the Main RX (A) in 
order to tune the transmitting (QSX) frequency and quickly switch back 
when transmitting, because VFO B is automatically designated as the 
transmit VFO when "SPLIT" is selected.  That's a limitation of only 
having one knob (the pod) for tuning both VFO's as opposed to two knobs 
when operating via the front panel.  Or am I missing something here?
