[Elecraft] [K3] FURTHER GOTCHA ON RIT COARSE TUNING FEATURE

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Kent, 

The option CONFIG: VFO OFS allows the RIT know to act like the 
VFO knob in coarse mode if both RIT and XIT are off.  

 VFO OFS:  If ON, the RIT/XIT offset control can be used to tune 
           VFO A in large steps when both RIT and XIT are turned 
           off. The step sizes vary with mode (see VFO CRS), and 
           are the same as the COARSE VFO tuning rates.

Carl is proposing that Lock disable the RIT/XIT control if (and 
only if) both RIT and XIT are turned off.  Turning on either RIT 
or XIT would enable the RIT/XIT control.   

The proposal makes a lot of sense to me ... 

73, 

   ... Joe, W4TV
