[Elecraft] PX3 Future Upgrades?

[Phil Wheeler]

With the P3 in Fixed-Tune mode you pick a span  
(e.g., 50 kHz) and it will automatically move to 
the next incremental span when you move there.

Likely Fixed-Tune will come first because a 
field-test of the code was out to a limited number 
of PX3 users several weeks ago. Hope so: Not my 
style to carry a keyboard for use with a portable 
transceiver, and my base station is usually my K3+.
