[Elecraft] Progressive Tuning Rate

[Joan]

I think it would be nice for a future firmware update to add a progressive tuning rate.  I can imagine the simplest added root menu item: VFO PRG [Disable (or OFF)/Enable] (rather than complexifying the existing VFO CRS submenu).  Adding more options would be possible for a VFO PRG menu item, e.g.: [OFF/x5/x10/x20] (where x=equals the currently set Fine or Coarse tuning rate for the current mode).  A non-user-accessible sensing threshold would probably be acceptable.  {One can imagine a VFO PTH; but such an item might tip the complex-o-meter needle past the ‘needlessly complex’ mark} ;)

More than 7 chars in the VFO B alphanumeric display would be helpful, although it’s too late to change that.  This will have to wait for the introduction of the high-res colour raster displays of the KX4 and K4s.  {I’m making this up}
