[Elecraft] Question on frequency when in fine/medium/coarse

[Bob Novas]

Bill - hunh.  I didn’t think of testing it that way, but clearly that works and tells the tale.  Kind of off-putting, knowing that you’re really up to 99 Hz away from where you think you are when you select Coarse.  Maybe a good use for a macro.

The undisplayed digits are used, i.e. the freq does not shift to the displayed 100Hz. In my example the freq (while listening to a CW QSO) did not shift but stayed at 7.02647 Khz.

But, the question is - are the undisplayed digits retained but not used, or are they actually utilized in determining the frequency?  I’ve been setting my readout to xxxx.x00 before switching to Coarse, on the fea that the undisplayed digits actually are used in determining the Rx/Tx frequency, but there’s nowhere that says one way or the other that I can find.

Sri, when selecting coarse to 7.0264 not 7.02644. Fat fingers

Bob,
  
 
  
I just tested it It looks like the undisplayed digits are retained. My example 7.02647. Select coarse 7.02644 tune around and return to 7.0264 and select medium returns to 7.02647.

In other words, if the dial reads 7010.1, is the K3s running on the frequency 7010.100 or possibly 7010.1?? where the ?? are whatever happened to be dialed in before going to Coarse tuning?
