I was watching a video last night that Bob Nagy, AB5N did on the Icom 7610.
In the video Bob showed a feature called "Progressive Tuning Rate" that varies the tuning rate based on the speed of the tuning knob. Please see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elW42Nkiu0U at about 5 minutes into the video for more info. I'm wondering if there could be a firmware enhancement that would allow a K3(s) (or a KX3 for that matter) to do this?

My 20+ year old Icom 775 DSP does the same thing.

My old Kenwood R-5000 receiver (1990?) also does this.

In reply to this post by Michael Murphy
My FT-847 from 20+ years ago had it, Yaesu called it the "Jog Ring" or
something like that. I found it to be annoying at best, and frustrating most of the time. I think this has come up here in years past with no changes ... if Elecraft were to decide to do it, I certainly hope it will be optional. 73, Fred ["Skip"] K6DGW Sparks NV DM09dn Washoe County On 1/2/2018 5:39 AM, Michael Murphy wrote: > I was watching a video last night that Bob Nagy, AB5N did on the Icom 7610. > In the video Bob showed a feature called "Progressive Tuning Rate" that > varies the tuning rate based on the speed of the tuning knob.
