A scenario from yesterday's contest. I have the P3 set up to view about 3 or more KHz of spectrum. I use a K-pod to run my way up from low to high. I like the FINE setting to get that signal right where I want it but would like a course transition up to that signal. I could push a button to turn off FINE or turn on COARSE, run to the signal, push a button again to go back to FINE and finish the tuning. I could set up the macro buttons on the KPOD to do this so I didn't have to reach for the radio but still have to turn the functions on/off. Or, I could propose a method of changing VFO resolution based on turn rate. I like proposing things. One out of 100 gets a "hey, not a bad idea" comment. :)
Options to change rates or even disable rate changes sounds fine to me. There are features of the radio I don't use or turn off and they don't affect me while operating. Others find those features useful so I'm all for them being included. Clicking on spots is a possibility but not often permitted (or changes class) in contests. I should be clear, the value of this feature for me is in contesting where I'd prefer to keep my two hands in place rather than flittering around different controls. "MENU:VFO CTS will select 100/200/400 steps per revolution of the encoder." Simply (tongue in cheek) add the option 100/200/400/variable. Maybe the variable shifts between 100, 200, 400 based on VFO speed. At any rate, the request stands. I would like to see a variable tuning rate in the K3s, KX3 and K4HD which I plan to purchase after it is available or test one out if Elecraft wants to send me one to play with. Thanks for considering. 73, Kev N4TT On Sun, Jul 21, 2019 at 10:52 AM Ignacy <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it a feature of ICOMs? > Neat as QSY to a far away frequency can be done without pressing any extra > button. > On the other hand, band-segment memories and clicking on spots makes > long-range QSYing less important. > Ignacy, NO9E > > > > -- > Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/ > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [email protected] > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
