KX3 suggestion

Among a few other small "would like to see" items. How about a VFO lock. I have, what my wife describes as, big nubs. I tend to bump the VFO often. A minor fix has been tightening the VFO A friction. But a lock would be great while filtering out some QSO's.

Hi Mike,

Hold the KHZ switch for about 3 seconds. The VFO A lock symbol will
come on.

For more details see page 11 of the KX3 Owner's Manual.

VFO LOCK is already implemented. Just hold down the RATE button for
about 5 seconds and you'll hear the beep and see the padlock icon
appear on the display. Moving the VFO knob then has no effect. To
remove VFO LOCK, just tap the RATE button.

Hope this helps.

If you hold the Rate/kHz button for a few seconds, it will lock the VFO.
