[Elecraft] K-Pod question

[Dave Fugleberg]

I experimented a bit with the method suggested by Fred, using VFO-B to
'mark' the next signal up the band, and then using A/B to 'jump' to it.
That works, but of course after each 'jump', VFO-B is at the frequency of
the previous QSO. That means a little extra excursion to tune VFO-B past
the current VFO-A frequency to get to the next one up the band. No big
deal, just not quite as nice as using the markers on the P3.
Anyhow, thanks for the tip. In hindsight it's pretty obvious, but I
wouldn't have thought of it without your suggestion.
