Just turn off CONFIG:VFO OFS so the offset control can't change the VFO frequency. 73, Wayne http://www.elecraft.com On Oct 16, 2009, at 12:13 AM, DM4iM wrote: > Elecrafters, > when you are on a Frequency working someone or calling , it may happen > that you accidently touch the RIT-Knob and --poof-- the qrg is gone. > Even if VFO is locked. > > Very bad in a contest when you are running. > > To prevent this, I switch on RIT (if i don't forget). > > What do *you* do to prevent this? > > What did i miss? > > Martin > > -- > > 73, DM4iM > __ > 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

TX freq is LOCKed on VFOB and RX freq tuned on VFOA. I like the large knob for tuning and it's nowhere close to the RIT knob (which I never use anyway). I've done this for ~30 years starting with the TS-930S, FT1000MP, Orion and now K3. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/How-to-prevent-accidental-Frequency-Changes-tp3834026p3835088.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

In the meantime you can disable the option to use RIT for tuning. - Julian, G4ILO.

[Elecraft] How to prevent accidental Frequency-Changes?
Elecrafters, when you are on a Frequency working someone or calling , it may happen that you accidently touch the RIT-Knob and --poof-- the qrg is gone. Even if VFO is locked. Very bad in a contest when you are running. To prevent this, I switch on RIT (if i don't forget). What do *you* do to prevent this? What did i miss?
