RIT/XIT offset control moves vfo A in large steps?

[Rick Stealey]

In the K3 Utility program, ver 1.3.11.5, if you hit Help, then K3 Utility Help, and look in
the Contents tab and then Help over the Web, and then Frequently Asked Questions you
get to a fantastic document telling all about features of the K3.

I suspect some parts of this document is out-of-date and discusses features that were
changed or not implemented yet but I want to be sure because this is a feature I
would like to make use of.   It says, "When RIT and XIT are both off, the offset
control advances VFO A in large steps, defined by the operator on a per-mode
basis (e.g. 2.5 kHz for SSB, 5/9/10 kHz
for AM, etc.)."  This doesn't work on
my rig.  Is there something I failed to set up to get this to work, or is it not
implemented yet?

Rick-

This is a great feature for large QSYs.

In my manual (revision D2), it's on page 59 at the bottom.   In the VFO
CRS entry, it says to set CONFIG:VFO OFS to "ON".  (Well, maybe I should
have directed you to the VFO OFS entry on page 60 first.)

Some people prefer to leave it off because they bump the knob and do an
inadvertent QSY.

73-

See CONFIG: VFO OFS on page 62 of the current K3 Owner's manual. VFO OFS
turns it on and off, and CONFIG:VFO CRS sets the tuning rate  (per mode).
