[Elecraft] K3 AM feature request

[Jim Wiley]

Well, at least one reason is that some SW stations still insist on using 
frequencies other than precisely on the 0 or 5 kHz marks.  Also, a 
slower tuning rate makes it easier to "offset" the tuning to one side a 
bit to help duck interference.  This is the "we don't need no stinkin' 
rules" syndrome.  


SW listening and AM ham radio operation are the reasons that I insist on 
having full AM capability in any HF ham 
receiver/transmitter/transceiver  before I will purchase it.  Also, all 
too many of them recently have, unfortunately, bought into the idea that 
AM "must" have a faster tuning rate than other modes.  Not necessarily a 
good idea, at least as far as I am concerned.  But then, perhaps I just 
an OF.   Selectable tuning rates for _all_ modes, including  the very 
slowest to the very fastest are the way to go.
