[Elecraft] K3 Encoder software problem?

[Greg - AB7R]

Brian,

You are only in FINE mode when 3 digits are displayed to the right of the decimal.  

But...If you press FINE to exit fine tuning and are back to two digits on the 
display and set for 10-Hz tuning, you should not be noticing the effect you 
discribe.  

You should not exit coarse tuning by tapping fine.  I'll try to look at the effect 
of this later tonight when I am by the radio.
