KX3 Feature Request

thelastdb
I know this may be a nit but it would be neat if the VFO B knob would increment without rounding off the frequency. For instance, I participate in the foxhunts and find the fox. Then I use the DW SUB function and dial in the fox with the VFO A knob. If I use the VFO B knob it rounds off the decimal place and overshoots the target freq. If it were set to just increment of 1.0 I would land exactly where I want but it rounds off the freq and throws me out into left field.

Thanks.

Myron,

It will already do that.  You apparently have the VFO OFS menu parameter
set to OFS - change it to OFF and you will have your wish.
Note that if you have VFO OFS parameter to OFS, the step size will vary
by the value set in VFO CRS.  The size setting is per mode.
See those menu items in the manual.

I have a brand new, never installed, WindCamp brand heat sink for the KX3.  All the mounting holes are drilled & countersunk for a neat & easy installation.
It is red anodized after milling and has a bare spot on the inside for more efficient heat transfer from the two RF output devices.
This is a well-made and very professional looking heat sink which should help significantly in keeping the temperature down when running the KX3 in the continuous modes.
The only reason I'm selling it is because it is an extra that I do not currently need.

I can send some pics if you'd like to see it first.

I will ship it in the US for $38.
