[Elecraft] K3 coarse tuning in a transverter band
I've just upgraded from firmware 3.27 to 3.63. I used the VFO CRS menu entry to select RND= YES so that the RIT knob moves the VFO correctly eg 1kHz steps and rounded. It works fine on the standard bands. However on switching to a transverter band, the frequency is rounded to 20Hz away due to the transverter offset that I have set up. This is not the desired behaviour, and has changed since f/w 3.27. The effect is the same when using the main tuning knob in coarse tune. Anyone know how to cure this?

Re: [Elecraft] K3 coarse tuning in a transverter band
Sounds like a bug. The obvious fix its to fix your transverter so it has an offset that is a multiple of 1kHz. If it is an XV144, hard luck for a while until it gets sorted out.
