[TenTec] question, please help

[Scott Howell]

ok, this might seem ignorent, but well I really am embarassed to admitt
this problem. I am a little confused over the split mode of operation with
the Omni V.
I zero beat a station, I sometimes forget to hit the a=b button and find
myself xmitting on another band<g>. So, to clear up some confusion
if you have the split mode on, tune a station, you are only tuning the rcvr
and not the xmitter correct? To tune the xmitter, you'd need to switch to
the B vfo or have I got something wrong. I may not be operating the rig
correctly<g>.
unfortunately, being blind, I have no way to know if the rig is on the A or
B vfo unless I remember where it was. This is not a big problem and I
occationally have my Xyl check to be sure I haven't forgotten. What I am
trying to accomplish is the same function as a rit.
So, any clarification on split mode, how best to utilize my rig's features
to obtain a rit setup, and any other info pertaining, would be greatfully
appreciated.
I lost a contact yesterday for that dumb thing I did. It was't funny cause
I realized I was interfering with a qso in progress. That's not to good<g>.
I think I just need to know where I'll be xmitting when running the rig in
split ops. If your on vfo A, you go to B for adjusting the rcvr signal, and
you switched back to A I assume you'd xmit on A.
If you just zero beat a station, but do not hit A=B and just start
xmitting, I assume you'd be on B and whereever that was last is where your
xmitting.
wow! got to get this straight.<g>

tnx es 73 de Scott/n3byy
