I could use a suggestion or two on setting the VFO tuning rate. I
generally like 1Hz resolution for CW/RTTY and 10Hz for SSB. My current
settings are:
VFO CRS: 1.0
VFO CTS: 400
VFO FST: 50
VFO IND: no
VFO OFS: OFF
10Hz rate is fine. At 1Hz, the VFO knob is too "sensitive" [too many Hz
for very little movement of the knob]. In fact, all I have to do is
touch the knob to move it enough Hz to fall out of the APF bandwidth on
CW and screw up decoding on RTTY [AFSK]. I have the knob fairly loose
so I can spin it quickly. Holding "FINE" gives me 100Hz resolution which
is fine.
I've played around with the various settings, but can't seem to find
what I want, so I thought I'd look for others' ideas and settings.
