Well this is a hit as far as I'm concerned.
This will let you go through the band at a good rate but not too fast.
Set /VFO OFS/ to *on *this makes the* *RIT/XIT tuning knob tune at the
coarse tuning rate
Set /VFO CRS/: to *.5, * (this is a "per mode" setting but I only use
it on sideband) I believe this is also a recent feature but I can't find
when it showed up.
Then set VFO COARSE STEP ROUNDING to *yes
** *Here is how: "Tap '1' in the VFO CRS menu entry
to select RND=NO or YES. If YES, the VFO frequency will be rounded off
during COARSE tuning. This menu entry also sets the per-mode COARSE step
size. Note: The RIT/XIT control moves the VFO in coarse steps if RIT and
XIT are not in use (use CONFIG:VFO OFS to turn this on/off).
This only works with software version 3.41, new feature.
This only works if you don't use RIT/XIT
The advantage is that you can leave the main tuning knob in Fine tune
rate and go through the band at a what I consider to be a perfect rate
that allows you to look for signals and if they are not right on the
even or half KC you use the main VFO knob to zero in. This is very
quick. Most signals are right on the even or half KC.
Hope this helps.
Great radio
