Inrad had a mod about 20 years ago for the FT-1000/D which they called a
"Tuning Upgrader" that provided a slower tuning rate than stock when you
turned the main knob slower, restored the stock tuning rate when you
turned the knob faster, and a higher tuning rate (25 KHz) when you spun
the knob even faster. It was a great modification which the FT-1000
needed, but unfortunately is no longer offered.
No enhancements are needed to the K3's tuning rate(s), in my opinion.

<FWIW> I had an Yaesu satellite-capable HF/VHF/UHF radio for quite
awhile [FT-847??] that had a spring-loaded ring around the main tuning
knob that would QSY faster the more you turned it. Yaesu called it
the "Jog Ring" or something like that. Despite how good the concept
sounds, I found it worse than useless ... it really [really] got in
the way of using the radio. </FWIW>

Or, I
could propose a method of changing VFO resolution based on turn rate. I
like proposing things. One out of 100 gets a "hey, not a bad idea"
comment.
