[Elecraft] Feature Request: Shifting VFO

[KENT TRIMBLE]

Inrad had a mod about 20 years ago for the FT-1000/D which they called a 
"Tuning Upgrader" that provided a slower tuning rate than stock when you 
turned the main knob slower, restored the stock tuning rate when you 
turned the knob faster, and a higher tuning rate (25 KHz) when you spun 
the knob even faster.  It was a great modification which the FT-1000 
needed, but unfortunately is no longer offered.

No enhancements are needed to the K3's tuning rate(s), in my opinion.

73,
