[Elecraft] KAT500 tuning in combination with K3

2014-11-14 Thread Arie Kleingeld PA3A
Dick, Now that you are 'on the air'... Pressing the tune button on the KAT500 means that I want to tune. Wouldn't it be nice if the K3 (automatically) gives a tune signal when I do that? Is that somewhere on the list? Or will this never become reality? 73 Arie Dick Dievendorff schreef
