[Elecraft] Trouble with Auto-Spot (K3)

[Mike K2MK]

Hi Phil,

I have version 4.60 firmware and I used Auto Spot extensively in the ARRL DX
contest last month. Perhaps 500 times and it worked every time. It is my
favorite K3 feature. I didn't have the finest tuning engaged. I had two
digits after the decimal point showing. Perhaps Auto Spot's effectiveness is
influenced by the CWT threshold setting. Mine is set to THR=2. You can see
this setting by holding the CWT button and you can change it by turning
VFO-A.

73,
Mike K2MK
