[Elecraft] K3: proposed SSB coarse tuning rate change

We've had many requests to provide an 0.5-kHz VFO tuning step size in
SSB modes. I'd like to substitute this for the current 2.5 kHz
selection. The new set of steps sizes for SSB would then be:
0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 5.0
Most operators probably don't find 2.5 kHz steps to be particularly
useful. 0.5 kHz, on the other hand, seems to be a useful lowest-common-
denominator for tuning the SSB band segments.
Each mode can have up to 4 step sizes with the K3's present per-mode
data structure. I could add more step sizes, but that would require a
much more extensive change.
Please let me know if you have a compelling requirement for 2.5 kHz
steps.
73,
