[Elecraft] K3S auto spot question

[Jim Kutsch]

I'm still learning my new K3S and haven't yet figured out CW auto spot. I
have auto spot turned on (tap of the 0 key) and activate auto spot by a tap
of the * key while listening to a strong CW signal. Based on my experience
with KX3 auto spot, I would expect the VFO frequency to be automatically
adjusted and for me to hear a change in the pitch of the received CW signal.
But, nothing happens. It was suggested that I widen the passband which I
did. Still nothing when I press the asterisk key.

 

Am I doing something wrong or misunderstanding how the K3S auto spot is
supposed to work? I use this feature frequently on the KX3 and find it very
valuable.

 

Thanks for any comments
