Having owned an Icom 756 Pro 3, I loved that feature. Just put the Ten Tec rubber over the knob and it is much nicer to use.

I for one vote for it. I like it as well on my ICOM rig, and would be in favor of including it on the K3. I assume that it could be a firmware option so that those who are bothered by the concept aren't by the reality. In the meantime, I enjoy fast QSYs around each band by using the RIT knob option. 73 Craig AC0DS ______________________________________________________________ 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
