If I interpret the geekSpeak correctly, this looks like rounding off the frequency whether the user wants it or not. Coarse tuning rounding off when using the main tuning control is not a problem, but when the RIT/XIT tuning control is configured for coarse tuning works just fine for me the way it is, it is very similar to the implementation from Kenwood on the TS570 and TS480. Rounding off the frequency when using the RIT/XIT for tuning is a pain, as an accidental move of that control means you can't return in a couple of clicks to your original frequency. The K3 interface already has awkward compromises (accidentally going up or down a band when turning VOX on, QSK on, not being able to spin through multiple memories while listening to each one across different bands, etc.) lets not make it harder to use.
73 Dave, G4AON K3/100 #80 --------------------- Suppose the VFO were tuned to, say, 7040.23, in CW mode. Further assume your CONFIG:VFO CRS menu parameter is set to 1.0 kHz (i.e., your COARSE tuning step is set to 1.0 kHz in CW mode). If you then go into COARSE mode and move the VFO up one tic, you'll get 7041.23 with present firmware. In the future you'll get 7042.00: "quantized" to the nearest "quantum" which in this case is the next even multiple of 1.0 kHz. The same will apply if you have the RIT/XIT offset control enabled for use as VFO coarse tuning when it's not being used for RIT/XIT (see CONFIG:VFO OFS). The control will be quantized just like the VFO when it is in COARSE mode. The VFO already quantizes with smaller tuning increments selected (e.g. 50 Hz). So quantizing COARSE increments would be more consistent with present behavior. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ 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
