Tuning Rate Change

J Fox
I have to agree with the need for the radio to be smarter about changing it's tuning rate automatically.  This is a software change that would be helpful to most of us and is great on the Icoms.

"I really like the way some radios speed up the
tuning rate as you turn the dial faster. I think this is almost the only thing Icom do
better."

I guess I'm the odd man out on this preference. I used an ICOM 735 for 20
years so I'm used to it, but I never really liked it ... never knew where
I'd end up when I gave the knob a spin. Constant rate works great for me,
especially with the coarse option and fast tuning with the RIT knob.

73 and thanks for listening,
