Like Peter I was accustomed to this feature in my Kenwood TS-870. The Elecraft implementation is OK, but I prefer the 5 KHz steps. To me this is a course, "get to the other end of the band segment in a hurry" control. Two and one-half KHz just seems weird to me, as does the different rate for

When the KPA500 was keyed up, the K3 VSWR went from 1.2:1 to 1.0:1. Because the input circuit offered a j0 match, I concluded that the problem had to be associated with the amplifiers output. In bypass mode, the bypass relay connected the input directly to the output. I was confident that the

I use it more like Don does, as a somewhat channelized tuning knob. When I want to go fast, I sometimes change modes to get a faster skew. What I would like in this are is to have the K3 adopt the KX3's behavior of zeroing the low order digits of the frequency. Enough radios make it easy to
