"Or the faster you spin the knob the larger the stepping increment."
Yes, that's the right way to do this. And, after the code is written to read the encoder this way, apply it to the VFO as well. I'd much rather spin the knob fast and have the rig accelerate tuning (like my Icom did) than to have to hit the consarned rate button all the time. I'd pay $$ extra to get little pieces of functionality like that. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

You've got a point there. My 756Pro would get me from one place to another
real quick if I turned the knob faster. It had a drawback or two but I do prefer it over constantly pressing those buttons on the K3. Hey Wayne, can this go on the things-to-do list too?

A ballistic type of tuning is already on the list.

In reply to this post by Steve Jackson-5
It have keypad entry. Not that what you are discussing isn't a nice
feature, but you just plug in a frequency instead of spinning? This used to drive me nuts using my friends TS-440. No keypad entry. Something I have always required in a rig.
