[Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO

[Don Wilhelm]

Kev,

Since you use the K-Pod, why don't you set CONFIG:VFO OFS to ON, and 
then set CONFIG:VFO CRS for whatever Coarse setting you want (that is a 
per mode setting).

Then on the K-Pod, when you want a fast QSY, just flip the bottom switch 
to the RIT position and move the knob with the coarse steps - it can 
work as long as you do not have RIT or XIT turned on.
Switch the rocker back to VFO A (or B) to finish the fine tuning.

73,
