Well this is a hit as far as I'm concerned. This will let you go through the band at a good rate but not too fast.
Set /VFO OFS/ to *on *this makes the* *RIT/XIT tuning knob tune at the coarse tuning rate Set /VFO CRS/: to *.5, * (this is a "per mode" setting but I only use it on sideband) I believe this is also a recent feature but I can't find when it showed up. Then set VFO COARSE STEP ROUNDING to *yes ** *Here is how: "Tap '1' in the VFO CRS menu entry to select RND=NO or YES. If YES, the VFO frequency will be rounded off during COARSE tuning. This menu entry also sets the per-mode COARSE step size. Note: The RIT/XIT control moves the VFO in coarse steps if RIT and XIT are not in use (use CONFIG:VFO OFS to turn this on/off). This only works with software version 3.41, new feature. This only works if you don't use RIT/XIT The advantage is that you can leave the main tuning knob in Fine tune rate and go through the band at a what I consider to be a perfect rate that allows you to look for signals and if they are not right on the even or half KC you use the main VFO knob to zero in. This is very quick. Most signals are right on the even or half KC. Hope this helps.
