[Elecraft] K3 Scan Rate

[Chris Page]

Thanks Drew.

At the moment I want to use it to check the seven UK 60 metre 
frequencies by using the Channel Hopping facility.  Even with the 
RATE button set to the slower rate, it still scans over the 
frequencies much too fast.

I agree with you in that it would be nice to be able to vary the rate 
and also the dwell time of the scanning.
