Hi, Bill: I can see how your idea for killing the offset at the first movement of the VFO would work, at least for smaller jumps. I'm not sure I'd appreciate my VFO jumping say, 50 Hz, perhaps in the "wrong" direction, to 'zero up' the frequency when I touched the VFO at a 100 Hz tuning rate though.
Ron -----Original Message----- Hi Ron, "Channelization" is a subject that is beginning to create more and more debate on the air. I must admit that, being a 6m operator where channelization makes sense other than in a contest environment (the band is large -- why QRM each other?), I might have a predisposition in that direction. But aside from the channelization debate, yes, I understand your initial objection. The way to solve that is to simply leave the actual VFO frequency unchanged when pressing the COARSE button -- but as soon as the VFO frequency is moved, drop the offset. Part of my "intuitive" feeling about this undoubtedly comes from how the TS-2000 was designed to work, and I guess I'm used to that. I don't know about current FT amd IC rigs.
