[Elecraft] K3 Feature Idea

[Don Wilhelm]

Wayne,

In the spirit of not desiring "magic buttons", I can say that if I want 
that behavior on my radio, I will set the dial (with VFO A knob) to 
".00" and then I can use the RIT knob to move in 1 kHz increments.
In other words, I like the behavior as it is now.  If I am tuning the 
SSB portion of the band, yes, I will "quantize" the low order digits 
manually, but if I am tuning the CW portion, automatically quantizing 
the low order digits is not as great an idea - I may want a particular 
offset from "00", so let me do it myself if I desire, but please do not 
force it on me.

73,
Don W3FPR
