[Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates

[Don Wilhelm]

Wayne,

I have that ballistic tuning on my Yaesu FT-847 and find it cumbersome 
to use.  It may be that I am just not used to it (I use my K2 and K3 
more often, but for right now, operating with a ballistic tuning know is 
*not* one of the skills I want to have to learn.  I am quite happy with 
the RATE button on the K3.

73,
Don W3FPR
