[Elecraft] K2 Tuning VERY STRANGE...

Mon Feb 25 16:00:00 2002

My K2 does this as well, in both the tuning rates it is set up for, i.e.
10 Hz rate (slow: 1 kHz/rev, fast ~ 0.6 kHz/rev) and 50 Hz rate (same
reduction with speed). Also using the 2.01 firmware.

THANK YOU Vic!

No wonder folks started complaining about the need for a smart,
automatic tuning rate recently.

I have always just put my finger on the knob and twirled away. I could
run 50 kHz across the band in a few seconds at the 10 Hz rate before I
put the new firmware in. Now I must slooooowly craaaawlll across the
band by comparison.

Bummer...

Thanks for the input!
