[Elecraft] Spot - No Spot

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Randy:

Wayne is aware of reports of this glitch and is attempting to reproduce
it on his K3 so he can properly address the problem.

In my personal experience, if you 'peck' at the [SPOT] button, you'll
usually get only the BEEP, but if you're a bit more 'assertive', (but
not so assertive that you HOLD it), pressing the button a bit longer,
you'll get both beep and tone... of course, of you over-do things,
you'll go into SIDETONE SET mode... <G>.

Thanks,

73,

Tom   N0SS
