[Elecraft] P3

[Bob Fuller]

I’m new on the reflector as of today.  I searched for this and didn’t see anything that addresses my thought and I hope I’m not repeating something that has already been covered somewhere.  If so, please let me know.

To me it would be useful if the following capability were available to me:

When I move a marker with the P3 knob and then tap it to tune the K3 frequency to my selection, I almost never hit  the exact carrier frequency in SSB.  I then have to move my hand over to the K3 VFO for fine tuning.  It’s not a big deal but over and over in a contest this might become time consuming.  

If, after tapping the select knob on the P3 it would be useful to me if, for a few seconds, the knob were to become a direct K3 fine frequency tune control.  I wouldn’t have to switch back and forth between the P3 & K3 all the time.  If the knob isn’t turned for a short time, say 5-seconds, it would revert to its normal operation of moving the marker only.

Others’ thoughts on this would be welcome.

Thanks,
Bob, W7KWS
