Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates (alternative: via FREQ ENT)
I've seen some ballistic radios working very well. You don't notice it untill you really spin the wheel making very clear you want to QSY. Other radios tend to get nervous and seem to skid on it. It's a matter of choosing the best switch-over point in relation to encoder/speed/user. The option in K3 to do course steps with with RIT encoder and fine with VFO is really nice! Use that all the time. It would be nice though to have the option to revert to full .000kHz somehow. 73' Paul PD0PSB That would also drive me wild, but then I would not have to use it unless I selected it explicitly, so it is quite palatable to me. Remember the KISS principle - I object to my radio doing magic things for me. -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3-VFO-Tuning-Rates-tp2970398p2979579.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

Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates
I have used radios with ballistic tuning and if implemented well it's a pleasure to use. my Icom 756pro2 did this as did the 7800 my Racal ra3702 has ballistic tuning too but the jumps up in tuning rate are too large and occur at the wrong rotation speeds so it's a bit of a nuisance on this radio, thankfully it can be turned off. Implemented well it would be a nice feature to have on the K3 -- 73 Brendan EI6IZ __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates (alternative: via FREQ ENT)
As usual it seems the thread has mutated into different conceptions of what is going on. Ballistic tuning is when the knob is turned faster the freq moves faster, I had a FT-847 and the tuning on it was jog shuttle an extra ring around the tuning knob that would move freq very fast depending on how far the ring was moved. Was a bear to get used to. The ballistic is much different, there is no learning curve and works well, you dont even know its there unless you spin the dial fast. It would be like a no hands rate button. I for one vote for it.

Re: [Elecraft] K3 VFO Tuning Rates
The ballistic tuning methods I have experienced all suffered from jumpy rates. If the tuning rate increase was *a smooth proportional increase* with the knob speed increase and the reverse, I think people would love it. I would think setting 25 or 50 narrow bands of increase would feel proportional. Two, three, four is jumpy. 73, Guy. __ 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
