[Elecraft] Spot button QSYs K3

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Stephen & Robby,

Autospot is turned on when the CWT is activated. You can see this on the S
meter display. With CWT activated, the right half of the S meter display
shows the CWT tuning bar. Press the CWT button to toggle it on and off. As
Stephen indicated, with CWT active the SPOT button becomes an automatic
spotting tool. You won't hear the spot tone but you will see the word AUTO
on the bottom display and you will see VFO A change frequency to match the
tone of an incoming CW signal. It will do it even if the LOCK button is
activated. I haven't seen it move several KHz but maybe if the filter width
is wide and there is a strong CW signal a few KHz away it might migrate that
far.

I use autospot extensively and even have a keyboard shortcut for it when
using WriteLog contest software. Operating search and pounce, I will use
autospot several thousand times in a big two day contest. If you remember
when personal computers were in their infancy there would be certain
programs that were called Killer Apps because people actually ran out to buy
PCs just to run those programs. For me, autospot, is a K3 Killer App. 

73,
