[Elecraft] K3 Tune Button

[Georgens, Tom]

When the TUNE button is engaged, are there settings that determine how
the radio responds?  On my radios, depressing the TUNE button will
display the  SWR.  I would rather it displayed the frequency.  I thought
that K5ZD's K3 did exactly that when I used it at WRTC.  Although
somewhat impolite, I occasionally sweep the band in TUNE mode as an SWR
check of the antennas.  Not being able to see the frequency makes this
less convenient.

 

Similarly, if TUNE is depressed and I turn the VFO knob, the response
varies by band.  Sometimes the tuning rate is fast, sometimes it is
slow, and sometimes the frequency will not change at all.  

 

There must be a setting that controls this, but I have tried the manual
and could not find the answers

 

Thanks and 73
