[Elecraft] K3 Feature Idea

[Wayne Burdick]

Hi Leigh,

I've now implemented *optional* coarse tuning quantization (or  
rounding). It'll be in the upcoming beta release. You can turn it on/ 
off in the menu.

1.5 kHz as a coarse tuning step size might be problematic since it  
wouldn't be aligned at 10-kHz points as you tune across the band. I  
think 0.5 kHz might be more useful.

73,
