[Elecraft] K3 AM feature request

[Don Wilhelm]

Drew,

Use the fine/coarse controls in conjunction with the RATE button.  Tap
the RATE button until the 100 Hz digit place blinks and that allows you
to easily tune in 50 Hz steps which is 5 kHz per revolution with a 100
count setting.  That is certainly good enough for me.

It takes a lot of manual reading along with some experimenting with the
K3 to discover all its flexibility - so for those who have not yet done
so, 'Read The Fine Manual'.  Fortunately, the default setting result in
a quite workable radio, so it is usable after only skimming the manual,
if you want more, a bit of study is required.

73,
