This thread reminds me of the "need for a fix" I was sure I had come up with, and posted ... "Make the RIT tuning rate selectable." With three digits to the right of the decimal point, it took a lot of rotations to move the RIT very much. After some more operation, and a very short email from Wayne, I discovered that, if I went to two display digits, the RIT rate was just about right. Now, when I'm in RUN mode in a contest, I set the display to 2 digits, and make sure RIT is on. Works great, no "fix" needed. I know I could have known this had I read the manual carefully ... like that's really going to happen :-) This has happened to me several times since ... something I think I really want to be able to do in a certain way turns out to be available already ... just not exactly like I had envisioned it. With today's radios, there are nearly a countably infinite number of ways to employ them. I'm trying hard to be flexible and try a few of them out. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2011 Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2011 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
