[Elecraft] Tired of VFO spinning?

[Rich - K1HTV]

Jim,
  If you are tired of spinning your K3 VFO from one end of the band to the
other, and also switching modes when you get there, you might consider this
suggestion. On each band, you can easily set up 4 different go-to frequencies
using the four (M1-4) memory buttons. On each band and for each of 4 modes, tune
VFO-A to the desired frequency, set both VFOs to the same frequency (tap A>B
twice), select a mode, and optimize your filter settings. 

To store these settings in one of the four memories:
Tap the V>M button once.
Tap the M# (1-4) button that you want to use for that frequency/mode. 

Do this for each of four mode/frequency/filter combinations on each of the bands
from 160M to 6M.  On each band I use M1 for CW,  M2 for SSB,  M3 for PSK31  and
M4 for RTTY. On 30M, where SSB is not allowed, I substituted the WSPR
frequency/mode info for the M3 memory. You can make changes based on your
mode/frequency preferences.  

To quickly switch to one of the M1-4 memories:
Tap the M>V button once.
Tape the M# (1-4) once.

This will allow you to quickly move you between frequencies and modes on each
band. 

I hope that you find this info useful.

73,
