[Elecraft] K3 Remote VFO tuning control

[Bill Clarke]

Earlier, a post made reference to using part of a mouse. So, I went 
through my computer junk box and came up with a mouse that I stopped 
using because the mouse wheel dents were so light that I could hardly 
feel them. Now I am using that mouse with HRD V5 and my K3. It is an 
answer as it is - with tuning speed controlled by where you place the 
mouse cursor on the HRD screen. This will make an interim answer to the 
problem while a more elegant device is looked for.

The device from TenTec with a key pad is extra interesting. I'd forgo 
the use of HRD if something like that was available for the K3. The only 
time I use the serial port is for HRD and updates. I don't use K3-EZ. 
Also, unlike most K3 ops, I don't use any of the logging programs or 
digital stuff. Hence, it would be a great trade-off for me.

Some programming genius should see this as an opportunity. I would, if I 
could do the magic.
