Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

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

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

Bill, That too "is already there". Whether or not the frequency is "rounded" depends on the setting in the VFO CRS menu item. Tap [1] to toggle between rounding and no rounding. VFO CRS determines the per mode frequency steps used when you have set VFO OFS to ON. 73, Don W3FPR On

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

Hehe and I though I knew the radio fairly well too. I need to bone up on the "press a number key" options in the config menues. 73 Bill AE6JV On 11/17/15 at 3:26 PM, w3...@embarqmail.com (Don Wilhelm) wrote: That too "is already there". Whether or not the frequency is "rounded" depends on

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

Bill and all, I "cheat" - I do have a good memory for things like that, but I don't necessarily remember all the details. I download the latest manual and scan the Firmware Release Notes before answering a question like that. In this case, I did look only at the latest manual menu listings and

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

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

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

Peter, I assume you are talking about the KX3. It is already there - look at the VFO CRS description on the manual (see page 40). Note that this is a per mode setting. No firmware change is necessary. The K3 (and K3S) has something similar but uses the RIT knob if CONFIG: VFO OFS is set

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

No, the K3S. Amazing that it was already thought of and part of the radio. Color me impressed! On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 8:28 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Peter, > > I assume you are talking about the KX3. > It is already there - look at the VFO CRS description on the manual

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

The Rounding YES/NO doesn't seem to have any effect. What should I be seeing? 2.5Khz is the highest value I can set. On Mon, Nov 16, 2015 at 8:28 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > Peter, > > I assume you are talking about the KX3. > It is already there - look at the VFO CRS

[Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

One of the few things I miss from my Kenwood TS-590S is the Multi/CH knob that lets you change the VFO frequency up or down 5 KHz for each encoder transition. I used this all the time to go quickly to a frequency within a band. It was even usually faster than the manual keypad entry. I propose

Re: [Elecraft] Feature request: OFS Knob as frequency fast up/dn

Peter, Yes, 2.5kHz is the upper limit, but for SSB I use 0.5 kHz because SSB stations are usually on 1 kHz boundaries although 0.5 boundaries are possible. For CW I use 0.1 kHz. 2.5kHz is typical for FM stations, but too wide for SSB or CW. To me, it is just a quick way of scanning
