[Elecraft] Problem with BFO adjusting

[Don Wilhelm]

20 or 30 Hz may be the best you can obtain due to the DAC resolution.  It
may appear that you have it "right" but you may be just a Hz or 2 away from
the 'step' point provided by the DAC setting firmware, and it stores not the
value that you had intended, but the one next to it.  You can try repeating
the setting several times until it really stores the value you had
intended - some folks have reported success with repeated stores.

These digital things have jumps in them - it is not as smooth as analog -
but it is more stableand repeatable.  I guess we can't have both without
spending a large fortune for a transceiver with smaller digital steps.
