[Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

[Bob Novas]

About the only thing I like about using my Drake R4C over my K3S is that I can cover a lot of band with a couple of twists of the Drake's tuning knob, at 25KHz per rotation. However, it's tough to clarify SSB at that rate, though it's actually not too fast for CW for me.

I'd love to see the K3S have a progressive tuning rate, with adjustable parameters - acceleration and max rate.  Acceleration would set how fast the progressive tuning rate advances; max rate would set the absolute max tuning rate.

I actually thought all radios had this feature. When I first got my KX2, i kept turning the knob faster and faster looking to see if it would kick in, and was kind of disappointed when it didn’t. So I would like to see it added to the KX2 and KX3.
