I use it more like Don does, as a somewhat channelized tuning
knob. When I want to go fast, I sometimes change modes to get a
faster skew.
What I would like in this are is to have the K3 adopt the KX3's
behavior of zeroing the low order digits of the frequency.
Enough radios make it easy to transmit on these frequencies that
it is useful to easily tune them.
I would not object to being able to select coarser steps,
although I probably wouldn't use them myself.

Like Peter I was accustomed to this feature in my Kenwood
TS-870. The Elecraft implementation is OK, but I prefer the 5
KHz steps. To me this is a course, "get to the other end of
the band segment in a hurry" control. Two and one-half KHz just
seems weird to me, as does the different rate for different modes.

Peter,
Yes, 2.5kHz is the upper limit, but for SSB I use 0.5 kHz
because SSB stations are usually on 1 kHz boundaries although
0.5 boundaries are possible. For CW I use 0.1 kHz. 2.5kHz is
typical for FM stations, but too wide for SSB or CW. To me,
it is just a quick way of scanning through the band. If your
expectations are more than that, then submit your request for
an additional firmware upgrade.
