[Elecraft] K3 Channel Hopping

[Dave G4AON]

So long as they remember to keep rapid tune via the RIT knob function
set to not round off the frequency (VFO OFS menu item), this can lead to
the accidentally loss of a contact on CW.

Another thing it does and that I suggested for the K3 is this:

With both RIT and XIT "Off" change the function to force the frequency
to the nearest whole number value on the first step.  For example if
the current frequency is 14.201 MHz and the coarse tuning steps are 5
KHz, then the first step would be to either 14.200 or 14.205 (depending
on direction) then the following steps would be to 14.210, 14.215... if
tuning up or 14.195, 14.190...if tuning down.

Somewhere is a disconnect.
