I was several releases back and just installed this beta so my question probably applies to an earlier release.
I was dismayed to see that frequency display resolution (all 3 of them) is now down to the the single Hz! That's three decimal places. I always thought two decimal places was too many, given the typical resolution of the display. Is there a way to truncate this, say to the nearest one KHz? Even the P3 only goes down to hundreds of Hz. This is a radio, not a laboratory instrument! 73, /Rick N6XI On Sun, Feb 19, 2017 at 10:20 AM, Edouard Lafargue edou...@lafargue.name [KX3] <kx3-nore...@yahoogroups.com> wrote: > > > Excellent news, Wayne! > > If only you could consider making the "Mic Btn" settings mode-dependent, > my life would be complete (or thereabouts).
