Spot - No Spot

[wrmoore]

Lately I've noticed that occasionally when I hit SPOT I get the beep and
VFO B says SPOT, but there's no tone.  It's sometimes hard to reproduce,
and may have to do with how quickly I release the button - the quicker I
release, the more likely it is to happen.  But when it happens, the part
of the code that puts SPOT in the VFO B display thinks I'm spotting, but
no tone.  I'm running the latest beta SW.  Not sure when this began to
happen...

Puzzled,

Do you have Config: SW TONE enabled? I have noticed that it makes SPOT
a little glitchy.

It would be good if there was no switch tone with SPOT and PITCH since
these functions are tones; don't need a switch tone for this button.

Hi Randy:

Wayne is aware of reports of this glitch and is attempting to reproduce
it on his K3 so he can properly address the problem.

In my personal experience, if you 'peck' at the [SPOT] button, you'll
usually get only the BEEP, but if you're a bit more 'assertive', (but
not so assertive that you HOLD it), pressing the button a bit longer,
you'll get both beep and tone... of course, of you over-do things,
you'll go into SIDETONE SET mode... <G>.

Thanks,

73,
