Just tested this race condition and found it to be real. Using either REV or A/B you can change the 'locked' VFO if the right knob is spinning when you are switching VFO places. Another way to get around the lock is to use a memory recall. Not sure if that would be classified as a bug or not, since memories are for both VFOs and it would be weird to change only one VFO. I suppose that could be a setting. That would classify it as a feature. Honestly neither of these is terribly important to me. But being a software engineer for my day job, whenever the firmware is discussed, it piques my interest. I was about to report that the LOCK button didn't LOCK all the controls on my radio (like the lock button on most any other device). But then I read in the manual, that it was just a VFO lock. It really surprised me when I had the LOCK engaged and I bumped the PWR knob and my power setting changed. But that was by design. I did find the concept counter-intuitive. (and by intuition, I really mean experience.) --Vernon N7OH > Since I added the KRX3 and use > dual RXs in split pileups I haven't noticed this as much. > > 73, Bill > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/K3-Bug-in-firmware-found-tp6240623p6241882.html > Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
