[Elecraft] K3 option request

[Wes Stewart]

Now you have two knobs to bump that can change your TX freq. The advantage IMHO to using just XIT is that it allows one to listen on his TX freq by just tapping RIT.  (Assumes no 2nd RX---my situation)

If both knob B and the offset knob change the TX freq, neither RIT nor REV let you hear your TX freq.  Lots of room for error simply to have the display show the TX freq.  Who cares anyway?  If it doesn't go into my log, I don't, and the next guy can find the DX listen freq on his own, just like I did.

If it's really important to you to see the offset, punch DISP and dial it in.
