Indeed Don, that change has helped a lot. Now I can tune the vast majority of SSB signals on 160, 80, 20, 15, and 10 meters while in coarse mode.

I have noticed that some of my tuning problems seem to be slow response from the K3 - P3 - SVGA link. I usually tune SSB looking at the waterfall on the SVGA screen. There is a bit of lag updating the vertical stripe showing bandwidth and the tuned frequency at the top middle of the screen. My hand gets ahead of the screen. I think this problem would go away if I looked at the K3 display, but then I can't see where the signal is.

Cheers - Bill, AE6JV

One thing you might want to check is your menu setting for VFO CRS (VFO Coarse Tuning). You could set that to 500 Hz for SSB - it is a per mode setting.

That may not help with your request about the SPOT button, but it may be a good 
substitute.

A small item for the infinitely long desired feature list:

I have noticed that SSB stations usually transmit on multiples of 500
Hz -- For example the Elecraft SSB net 14.3035 MHz and and W1AW/5 on
28.4570 MHz. If pressing SPOT when in SSB mode would set the frequency
to the nearest multiple of 500 Hz it would quite useful.
