[Elecraft] K3 auto spot function

[Brendan Minish]

Surely this is an unneeded feature?
Isn't the point of SPOT to ensure that you are transmitting on the same
frequency as the other station.
Nothing is gained by exactly tuning the station to match your side-tone
pitch once rit is engaged.
If some guy comes back to you a bit off frequency you can just adjust
the RIT until the pitch is to your liking. If it's outside the filter
bandwidth you may not hear him and auto spot can't work it's magic
anyway   

just my thoughts on this
