[Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO

[Doug Person]

And yet I find it a valuable feature on my other radios. It takes some 
serious intent to get the tuning rate to shift. Sensitivity can be 
adjustable and the increment value as well. I personally find it 
annoying to have to keep hitting a button to change the tuning rate. It 
would be quite easy to make this an adjustable, customization feature 
with a few menu options - off being one of them. Most current radios 
have this feature.
