can't get on frequency by click-tuning to save my soul. I get close
but still need to manually tune after that. Don't get me wrong -- I
can move pretty quickly and am pretty comfortable with that mode of
tuning but would probably go back to a knob ... if it really worked.
When I have the pan display set to x2 I get quite close but then can't
see much of the band. I can see a lot of the band when the pan display
is on x.5 but then click tuning is not particularly close.
I click-tune almost exclusively, with an accuracy of around 50 Hz.
Perhaps the secret is to use a narrow-bandwidth panadaptor. I operate
with a panadaptor width of around 20 kHz total (+/-10). Try that.
I tune that last 50 Hz 10 Hz at a time with either (1) the mouse or
(2) the numpad keys and Hotwheel if only RIT is needed.
When I had K3s here I operated them using wu2x's version of
powersdr-IF along with n8lp's LP-BRIDGE software, click-tuning at
least 99% of the time...
I don't need no stinkin' knobs.
