Christmas Wish

[Gary Smith-2]

Something I find myself doing frequently
is use the P3 with a SVGA monitor above
the K3s, especially during a contest. In
the heat of the game I find myself all too
often twisting the OFS knob for the
RIT/XIT control.

As I rarely use the RIT and XIT functions,
I would like to replace the OFS encoder
with the encoder in the P3 so that I would
be allowed to select this control in
CONFIG to work the P3 with this knob, or
as it exists now, for RIT/XIT.

When I'm tuning with my left hand on the
VFO A knob, I'd like to be able to control
the marker on the SVGA monitor with this
knob with my right hand. I am only using
Marker A with the P3 during contests, it
would be so much more ergonomically
balanced to be able to have both controls
at the same level and direction.

I realize this is likely not to be an
option but if it were, I'd do it in a
heartbeat.


If wishes were fishes...

Hi Bob,

It's the offset knob at the lower right
corner, next to VFO B. I agree a dedicated
mouse to the P3 to do this would be a
great help.

I'm not interested in moving VFO B, the
predominant time this becomes an interest
to me is during a contest and it's VFO A
with transmit that I am needing to move.

An aside, I love the receiver on this K3s,
pure magic.

73,
