Another way is to use a tiny DPDT switch to insert series resistance with
the pot, either on one side or the other giving you two overlapping smaller
tuning ranges at the flip of a switch.

I use the 150 KHz range, and have little trouble with it ... yes, you have to
tune slowly ... ok, no big deal. (having said that, however, my main interest
in CW leaves me in the lower 80 KHz anyway!)
I am, however, looking forward to the smoother tuning on the K2 that was just
delivered to

Subject: [Elecraft] K1 tuning rate
I'm considering getting a K1, this question of 80 vs. 150 kHz VFO
tuning width is a bit disconcerting.
I'd like to set it up for 150, but worry that the rate will be too
fast, too fatiguing to use.
Does anyone out there use 150 kHz and LIKE it? Did anyone out there
try 150 kHz and hate it and

SM0RVV, Erik has it right. Starting at 0.70 on
most bands you are fighting the digital modes anyway.
I actually wouldn't mind a mod to make the total
spread variable. I am very rarely above 0.25 on
any of the bands. That way you could switch to
25kHz (example) total and have some real fine

I hold the minority view that 150 kHz span (you'll actually get closer to 180
kHz) works just fine. The tuning is pretty linear at about 18 kHz per turn
across the entire tuning
