I just set the 4 "quick memories" for each band to 10 KHz up from the bottom of the CW portion, middle of the CW portion, middle of the RTTY portion and middle of the SSB portion of the band. Couple of quick button presses and a short crank of the main tuning either way and you're there.
I never did really get used to using the RIT knob as a "quick tune" feature so I shut it off. No need to burden Wayne with adding features that can be worked around - he's got much more on his plate than adding things to please one or two individuals IMO. > Barry, > > On the menu set it at 2.5 (the fastest) and it flies up the band > with a couple quick turns > Give it a try. > > I also tune the bands, but if I am on CW and want to go up to the > SSB end of the band I dont have to spin > the VFO A knob until the cows come home, hihi. > > 73, > Bob > K6UJ > > > On Mar 4, 2012, at 5:23 AM, Barry wrote: > >> Don, >> >> I'm aware of that and have it turned on.
