[Elecraft] Christmas Wish

[Gary Smith]

Hi Bob,

It's the offset knob at the lower right 
corner, next to VFO B. I agree a dedicated 
mouse to the P3 to do this would be a 
great help.

I'm not interested in moving VFO B, the 
predominant time this becomes an interest 
to me is during a contest and it's VFO A 
with transmit that I am needing to move.

An aside, I love the receiver on this K3s, 
pure magic.

73,

Gary
