There is a similar computer feature called “mouse acceleration”. It has been around for at least 20 years and people still haven’t agreed on whether it is a good or bad thing. wunder K6WRU Walter Underwood CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ (my blog) > On Jul 21, 2019, at 7:50 AM, Ignacy

Not sure who I'm talking to here, no signature, no call.  It's a little hard to explain but ... Assume you set SPAN=100 KHz and put the left edge at the bottom of each band.  Changing bands back and forth using the BAND ^/v switch will preserve these settings, and every time you come back to

Inrad had a mod about 20 years ago for the FT-1000/D which they called a "Tuning Upgrader" that provided a slower tuning rate than stock when you turned the main knob slower, restored the stock tuning rate when you turned the knob faster, and a higher tuning rate (25 KHz) when you spun the

It's been brought up several times in the last two or three years. No response from the P3 software guys. It's EXTREMELY annoying that the P3 won't respect the center frequency setting if the radio is tuned via any CAT command. I've given up on hoping it will ever be fixed. My guess is that

Is it a feature of ICOMs? Neat as QSY to a far away frequency can be done without pressing any extra button. On the other hand, band-segment memories and clicking on spots makes long-range QSYing less important. Ignacy, NO9E -- Sent from: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/
