Eric and Wayne are *always* listening. It's part of their charm. 73, matt W6NIA On Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:19:52 +1000, you wrote: >I think this would be a very good feature to have.

Re: [Elecraft] P3 (fine tune mode)
I think this would be a very good feature to have. I do not like the way the QSY Tap is used also. I can never end up where I need to be without going to the main VFO etc. Hopefully the powers that be are listening:-) Gary On 21 June 2011 13:11, Bob Cunnings wrote: > I suggested the same thing a while back... > > http://www.mail-archive.com/elecraft@mailman.qth.net/msg100958.html > > so it's nice to know I'm not alone! > > Bob NW8L > > > >I’m new on the reflector as of today.
