KX3 VFO B Tuning rate?

nz8j
Is there any way to change the tuning rate for VFO B?  Using the dual watch
mode and trying to find where the dx is listening using VFO B is a little
difficult with such a slow tuning rate. I checked the manual and reflector
archives but cannot locate any information about changing the tuning rate,
maybe it's fixed at the 70hz per turn for VFO B. (at least that's what my
KX3 does). The other possibility is that I'm completely missing the boat on
this and am just not seeing it.

 

Thanks

Tim

VFO B tunes at the same rate as VFO A for a given mode. Assuming you're not using cross-mode, then you can just change the rate for A, and the rate for B will be the same.

Normal tuning rate is 10 Hz per step. Tapping RATE switches to 1-Hz tuning. Holding KHZ switches to coarse tuning. All will apply to both VFOs.

To change the coarse tuning rate for a give mode, use MENU:VFO CRS.

To change the total steps per VFO knob rotation, use MENU:VFO CTS (128 or 256 counts per turn).
