[Elecraft] K1 VFO Range Question

[Brett Howard]

I really like the ability to get up higher and also like the "fast
qsy" ability that the wider range gives you.  Some feel that its a bit
fiddly and you have to turn the knob a bit too finely but I honestly
kinda like the speed of the knob and I also like being able to pick up
WWV to verify my frequency counter and determine if I need to cal it
again.
