[Elecraft] K3 Auto Spot vs CWT

[Fred Jensen]

Hi All,

I have a very flat learning curve, so I take it one function at a time. 
   Lots of functions in my K3, it's going to take awhile to get through 
all of them :-)

Today's function was Auto-Spot.  I've been using CWT exclusively.  Today 
on ECN, I tapped SPOT on Kevin and the frequency changed just a little. 
  When I transmitted, the sidetone sounded to my damaged ears like I was 
dead zero beat with him.  However, the CWT bar flickered down one notch 
about half the time.  Kevin was running between 429 and 559, readable 
all the time except in quick deep fades, and not a lot of noise.  What 
noise there was was taken out by the NB.  Seems like several possibilities:

1.  I don't really have a clue as to CWT vs Auto-Spot and could use some 
education.

2.  I've got something mis-adjusted in some menu.

3.  There is nothing wrong

I'd like to check off Auto-Spot as a function of my K3 that I finally 
understand.
