K3 - some FW wishes...

[Alexandr Kobranov]

Hello friends,

so finally after several hours of real life with K3 there are some
ideas (mainly concerning FW I hope).

# CW pitch scaled by 10Hz not by 50Hz (it is personal feeling and
suppose individual importance for EME/weak signal rx)

# Transvertor offsets more then +-9,99kHz
I have some problems to fit my 24GHz chain (28 - 435 - 24048) to
+-50kHz so will be useful if there will be chance for more then +-9,99

# separate LOCK for VFO B (just idea to prevent unwanted change)

# General LOCK for all "knobs" (if somewhere - sorry, not found)

so I mean several LOCK levels - A only/B only/A+B/ALL

# well known Auto-CW (only to be listed here...)

Now back to fitting my 144MHz transvertor to 1mW output :-)

73!

If you can lock *all* the knobs, how do you ever unlock the rig?

ehhhh
typical dead-lock....

but LOCK is not "knob" - it is "button" :-))

and thanks to Bob for VBO B locking procedure! how simple....

I second that!  50 HZ is not fine enough.

Also,

A finer frequency resolution for AM mode (or if there's a way to do it, I haven't found it, and I've already tried adjusting the config settings for tuning).

The choices for 'coarse' are currently: 10.0KHz, 9.0KHZ, and 5.0 KHz.  Need to add 1.0 KHz capability for 'coarse' ... 5.0KHz is still to 'coarse' for comfortable use.

Tnx,
Bill (AG4SI)

Please put your inputs concerning K3 "Wish-list" also to forum at zerobeat

http://www.zerobeat.net/smf/index.php/board,25.0.html

(hope no registration is needed for looking into this thread, but
registration on forum is very simple and you can add comment or own
new input)

I suppose it is better to keep them (wishes) on forum with possibility
of comments per-item and like in one box...
I do not know better place so this suggestion is based only on my
limitted knowledge...:-)
