[Elecraft] K3-Tuning rate

[Fred Jensen]

I could use a suggestion or two on setting the VFO tuning rate.  I 
generally like 1Hz resolution for CW/RTTY and 10Hz for SSB.  My current 
settings are:

VFO CRS: 1.0
VFO CTS: 400
VFO FST: 50
VFO IND: no
VFO OFS: OFF

10Hz rate is fine.  At 1Hz, the VFO knob is too "sensitive" [too many Hz 
for very little movement of the knob].  In fact, all I have to do is 
touch the knob to move it enough Hz to fall out of the APF bandwidth on 
CW and screw up decoding on RTTY [AFSK].  I have the knob fairly loose 
so I can spin it quickly. Holding "FINE" gives me 100Hz resolution which 
is fine.

I've played around with the various settings, but can't seem to find 
what I want, so I thought I'd look for others' ideas and settings.
