[Elecraft] K3 auto spot function

[The Smiths]

The Auto Spot feature is indeed GREAT! But wouldn't it be EVEN BETTER if you could turn on the RIT, then AUTO spot someone with the RIT ONLY.

  
That way once you sent a CQ, and got an answer, you could VERY EASILY just turn on the RIT and hit SPOT.. It wouldn't move your Transmitting Freq, and you would be perfectly Zero Beat on the person sending to you, without having changed your Transmit freq like it does now.
Seems to me that would be a VERY EASY thing to change.  Of course for those that think this is the worst idea ever, they could simply leave this feature off (default) in their CONFIG: SPOT options menu.  
Wayne, don't you think this would be Helpful?  I would love to see it added for people like myself that send more CQ's than we answer them...
