A small item for the infinitely long desired feature list:
I have noticed that SSB stations usually transmit on multiples of 500 Hz -- For example the Elecraft SSB net 14.3035 MHz and and W1AW/5 on 28.4570 MHz. If pressing SPOT when in SSB mode would set the frequency to the nearest multiple of 500 Hz it would quite useful.

Bill,
One thing you might want to check is your menu setting for VFO CRS (VFO Coarse Tuning). You could set that to 500 Hz for SSB - it is a per band setting. That may not help with your request about the SPOT button, but it may be a good substitute. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/2/2014 4:30 PM, Bill Frantz wrote: > A small item for the infinitely long desired feature list: > > I have noticed that SSB stations usually transmit on multiples of 500 > Hz -- For example the Elecraft SSB net 14.3035 MHz and and W1AW/5 on > 28.4570 MHz.

Sorry about that - replace 'per band' with 'per mode' in the post below.

Indeed Don, that change has helped a lot. Now I can tune the
vast majority of SSB signals on 160, 80, 20, 15, and 10 meters while in coarse mode. I have noticed that some of my tuning problems seem to be slow response from the K3 - P3 - SVGA link. I usually tune SSB looking at the waterfall on the SVGA screen. There is a bit of lag updating the vertical stripe showing bandwidth and the tuned frequency at the top middle of the screen. My hand gets ahead of the screen. I think this problem would go away if I looked at the K3 display, but then I can't see where the signal is.
