I have noticed something strange happening with both of my K3s that I think
is a firmware issue. I can reproduce it on both K3s. Currently I am
running v2.16 in both but I have tried v2.20 and the problem is still
reproducible. NOTE: It is reproducible, but not 100% of the time.
Problem: In CW mode - push COARSE tuning - find a signal - push COARSE
again to go back to NORMAL tuning. After doing this the VFO is no longer
linear. By that I mean the tone jumps a few HZ as if it is jumping in some
predetermined step of HZ. It doesn't jump off the signal but it does jump.
FIX: If I then push FINE (don't need to tune the VFO) and immediately go
back to NORMAL the VFO tunes normally. Smooth tone changes and the step
freq jumps are gone.
I can create this on both of my K3s.
K3 # 1062
K3 #1193
Config settings:
VFO CRS: 10
VFO CTS: 100
VFO FST: 50
Has anyone else seen this? I don't remember it being reported and I would
expect it would have.
