Well, we already have a K3 scanner but it is not much use for tuning through a pileup.
I think manual control of the VFO knob is required when looking through a pileup; it would just be useful to not have to bother looking at the frequency display all the time and keep reversing tuning direction of the VFO knob. Especially for those who do the REV button one-handed pileup navigating without benefit of sub-receiver or P3. 73, Drew AF2Z On Wed, 07 Dec 2011 09:26:23 -0700, you wrote: > >Wonder if it could be a scan without turning the knob, within that "corral" >too? > >--... ...-- >Dale - WC7S in Wy > >> From: [email protected] >> To: [email protected] >> Date: Wed, 7 Dec 2011 10:54:18 -0500 >> Subject: [Elecraft] Pileup "markers" [ was Re: Band edge markers] >> >> No. But I would like to be able to define a temporary frequency >> segment that the VFO would be restricted to.
