The HRO 500 was my dream receiver as a young guy but unaffordable for a teenager. That one had a digital display and was all solid state. Around 1967 or so. The old building that housed the National Radio plant is still there about a mile from where I live. Brian Denley KB1VBF Sent from my

I racked my brain on this (I had an HRO) and the only thing I can think of is that they both have a sort of digital display. Vic 4X6GP > On 3 Sep 2017, at 23:12, Fred Jensen wrote: > > Ummm ... my K3 has a tuning "precision" of 1 Hz, repeatable. It has whatever >

Hi, Doug! Two questions... What do you mean by "technical design technique"? Is this referring to how the rigs were designed? Or is this a technical "feature" common to all their rigs? And you are suggesting this technique applies to every model of Elecraft radios, from the K1 to the KX3?
