[Elecraft] K3 Encoder software problem?

[Greg - AB7R]

Brian,

When going to the one digit tuning you are in coarse tuning mode and you should 
expect that result.  Please check you RATE button while in 2-digit tuning.  When 
you tap rate either the 100-Hz digit will flash or the 10-Hz digit.  When in the 10-
Hz tuning mode it will sound much smoother.
