[Elecraft] Dial LOCK Behaviour - Bug or Feature?

Tue Sep 2 19:14:01 2003

Hi Rick,
Not sure what is causing your K2 LOC to function as you describe.  On K2
3137 with latest firmware, when the LOC function is enabled, the freq
display is locked.  You can spin the main tuning dial and the freq display
will not change.  When you return to "nor" (unlocked) operation, the
original locked frequency is still displayed and unchanged.
I.E. Original display freq = 14250.00
LOC display and spin frequency dial, display = 14250.00
Unlock "nor", display still reads 14250.00

Maybe someone on the list has seen or heard of the LOC function as you
describe it.

73...
