OK, I confess up front, I could have gone to the web site and searched for awhile, but this is easier, and it's late. While in run mode in the NAQP that just ended, I kept RIT on since a surprising number of people have a hard time getting on frequency. Being a really old guy who can remember when dirt was young and we had receivers and transmitters in separate boxes, I sort of thought transceivers were supposed to solve the zero beat problem, but apparently not.
The tuning rate on my RIT was pretty slow, and it's a small knob [some folks were a long way off frequency so it took quite a bit of twisting to get them into the passband where I could copy them]. Sometimes, some close-in key clicks are good, I wouldn't have known they were there otherwise :-) Is there an adjustment in the menus for RIT tuning rate like there is for the main knob? I'd like to make it go a little faster. I'm on the current beta FW release, and the menus are so enhanced beyond what's in my book [S/N 642], I'm not even sure what I'm looking at when I scroll through them. The K3 RX is unbelievable! Stuff I can't hear on the TS-850 just pops up from the noise on my K3. If you were in the NAQP and worked me, thanks for the Q. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2009 Cal QSO Party 3-4 Oct 2009 - www.cqp.org _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
