[Elecraft] K3 Scan question

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Wayne,

Thanks for the explanation. I guess I didn't remember that there were
actually 2 different types of scans. I was using the long hold as a way to
listen while it scanned. But you are right, with a long hold it would run
right by any signal unless it is stopped manually with a key press or a
paddle press (in CW mode).

73,
