In version 1.09, the algorithm for rounding off the start frequency should be unchanged from the last production release (1.05).
The start frequency is rounded off only if the K3 VFO A is jumped to some frequency well outside the current display span. If you just tune VFO A past the edge of the display, then the center frequency changes based on MENU:FixMode, but the start frequency is not automatically rounded off. That was done on the theory that the operator may have set a certain display range for a reason and would want it to be the same when he tunes back again. So, for example, if you select Tracking mode, the center frequency is set to the VFO A frequency. You can change the center frequency (and thus the start/stop frequencies) to whatever you want by tuning the K3 or by using the P3 CENTER control. If you then switch to Fixed-Tune mode, the center frequency and start/stop frequencies stay the same. The problem with always rounding off the start frequency is that it might prevent the operator from setting it where he wants it (a contest or DX segment, for example). So it's a feature, not a bug. :=) Alan N1AL ______________________________________________________________ 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
