Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
Greetings -- This is probably well known to mose but for those who may be interested in changing frequencies/modes within a band...What I do is assign each band to a button 160-10 -- buttons 1 thru 9. (6 meters on 0). Then when I am on a given band, I use the DVR/memory buttons to save additional frequencies -- a bit like band stacking registers but I have to push two buttons instead of one (MV, and the DVR memory key). I use memory 1 for a favorite frequency on cw, memory 2 for the PSK31 frequency on the given band (also saving mode), memory 3 for rtty (also saving mode), and memory 4 for a favorite frequency in the phone band. I'm never too far away from operating where I want to be. (If you wish, you can also save VFO A frequency significantly far away from VFO B frequency and use a/b to move from one end of a sub band to the other, also) Of course you can also input a frequency using the numeric buttons which is fairly quick also. 73 de Greg-N4CC __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
To go from CW to SSB requires no knob spinning at all, Just set two of the memory buttons, one for each mode, and they are band dependent so each band has its own settings. That way it changes modes, filters, freq etc all in one push of the button. Operates somewhat like band stacking, if you want more setting per band just use the other Mem buttons. 73 Merv K9FD/KH6 i do tire of spinning that know from ssb to cw. what's the harm if it can be shut off?? pse ...when you have some spare time wayne bill ny9h/3 10:41 AM 3/3/2012, Jim McDonald wrote: I would like that too.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
The K3 tuning rate is already selectable per mode. See the Config menu for VFO CRS. In addition, there are the FINE/COARSE and RATE buttons to help you with the tuning rate.

[Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
I'd never use it, but if it can be added and menu selectable (on/off), what the heck...no skin off my back. What I do, if want to make a big frequency excursion on the same band/mode is simply use the keypad to enter the frequency in the range I want to target. But honestly, since I mostly use the rig for contesting, I just keyboard in the QRG in the callsign field of my logging program and bang...I'm there. de Doug KR2Q __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html

Re: [Elecraft] K3 feature request - auto-changing tuning rate
If it's selectable and I can turn it off, fine. My FT-847 does this and I hate it.
