H. It's an interesting concept, but I don't like the idea of
adding yet another function to the SPOT button. In general, I dislike
modal functions. That is, functions that work differently depending
on the setting of some other control. I know they're unavoidable in
some cases, but

Thanks Don and Ken. I don't know why, but I never thought of using split
like that - and it makes perfect sense. I liked Michael's suggestion
because I have done the same thing - I intuitively hit Auto-Spot after
someone came back to me a little off freq and then panicked because I
couldn't rem
Other problem of course: How to make it smart enough, in the presence
of other CW sigs to lock on to the one you want.
More than likely it won't and you'll have to mess around with manual
controls to fix it's mistake.
A person using a knob can do the job much better than a ton of software.

Michael,
Operating modes do differ, but --
I would never even think to using Auto-Spot after I called CQ or after I
established a QSO simply because I know it would change my transmit
frequency. In other words, I would not tap the SPOT button after a CQ,
but I still use the CWT indicator visual
I think it is a good idea. I don't use CWT / auto-spot much and you've
just made me realize my reason. Once I call CQ and someone answers, I
don't change my TX freq and the auto tune feature does just that.
Instead, I make sure CWT is off and use the spot tone to tune the guy in
with RIT.

How would this differ from calling CQ and subsequently
operating throughout a QSO in SPLIT mode? This way,
if the other guy drifts, the two of you don't leap-frog up or
down in frequency. Using SPLIT seems much easier than
twiddling ... and resetting ... the RIT, a control I never use.
This is
Hi Michael,
That is a meaningful and outstanding suggestion. I would really like to see
Elecraft add it to the "List".

I would like to suggest an "upgrade" for the SPOT control function. As you
know, the SPOT function changes the Main VFO's frequency to "Beat Frequency" a
CW signal. This function is wonderful when used to tune in a received signal
within the CWT area. However, if after sending a CQ, and havi
