[Elecraft] Autoinfo 1

[Dick Dievendorff]

If you set AI1; and then turn the VFO A knob, hopefully you'll see an IF
packet sent within a second or so of changing the frequency.

The initial implementation in an early firmware version spewed data once a
second whether anything had changed or not. 

Now AI1; sends the IF packet only when a frequency setting changes.

See the K3 Programmer's Reference for details.

You can use the K3 Utility's command tester to observe this behavior.

    I set Autoinfo to Auto1 and it did not seem to cause the K3 to send 
out RS-232 data without being polled. My impression is that this is what 
this option was supposed to do. I may be out in left field on this, and 
if so someone bring me in out of the rain please. :-)

    I am trying to get the K3 to send data out for the SteppIR antenna 
to read without having HRD running. There are times when I would like to 
just peruse the bands without wanting the software running, but have the 
SteppIR track the frequency. Has anyone done this successfully?
