I agree with Don. The K3/K3S already supports three tuning rates
depending on the operation of the Fine/Coarse control (HOLD/Coarse =
100 Hz/step, Fine = 10 Hz/step, Double tap Fine = 1 Hz/step). In
addition, MENU:VFO CRS will select 1 KHz or 10 Hz/step and MENU:VFO
CTS will select 100/200/400 steps per revolution of the encoder.
Finally MENU:VFO OFS will allow the RIT control to move the VFO by
the COARSE setting when RIT is OFF.
The K3/K3S is already far more flexible and user friendly than any
variable speed VFO implementation (one reason I have rejected the
Yaesu FTdx101!).

Kev and all,
No vote on that dynamic VFO tuning for me. It would only be suitable
for me if I could turn it off.
I have used a couple transceivers that had that type of tuning and it
drove me nuts.

Consider one of the settings for your computer mouse is shifting
resolution. This allows you to move the mouse real fast to get from
one end
of three monitors to the other. And then, when you slow down, the mouse
goes into micro-resolution mode and you can be very precise in your
movements. This may be a Logitech feature.
I was thinking the same concept could be used for the VFO. I'm familiar
with the Fine/Course and RATE buttons but I was thinking (danger Will
Robinson) that it would be nice to quickly shift to the next RTTY signal
and then automatically switch to the FINE selection based on how fast you
turn the VFO.
