[Elecraft] New tuning knob for the KX2

[Bill Frantz]

What I would really like for fine adjustment, e.g. one step when 
tuning weak RTTY, is tactile feedback from the knob. A slight 
bump for each time the VFO changes by one tuning unit. Note that 
in today's radios, tuning is not continuous, it is digital, and 
knowing when you have moved the VFO is useful.

I use the M memories for switching between CW, Data A, RTTY, and 
SSB. No memories left. (I consider a good day on the air is one 
where I have digital, CW, and voice QSOs.)
