Hi John, You can change the KX2’s coarse tuning rate on a per-mode basis using the VFO CRS menu entry. In CW mode the default is 0.1 kHz, but you can set it to something higher. This would allow you to QSY much more quickly. Another trick: Whenever the OFS knob’s LEDs are both off (RIT and B),

Thanks Don(s) - I had no idea the course value was configurable. That'll teach me to RTM... 73 all John AE5X https://ae5x.blogspot.com On Fri, Feb 23, 2018 at 9:13 AM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > John, > > Check the left column on page 16 of the KX2 manual. The OFS/B knob can be > used for coarse t

John, Check the left column on page 16 of the KX2 manual. The OFS/B knob can be used for coarse tuning of VFO A to allow rapid frequency excursions of the band. Also see VFO CRS in the menu. 73, Don W3FPR On 2/23/2018 9:51 AM, John Harper wrote: The RATE button currently toggles between

With Bouvet off the horizon for the time being, I've begun to use my KX2 as more of a Main Rig lately and wonder if a feature could be considered in a future firmware release. The RATE button currently toggles between two rates. Could a third rate be added that changes the step to kHz (as opposed

Hi Doug, Yes you are correct the RATE button will change the tuning rate of the VFO A knob, and the OFS mode will use the VFO B Knob to change the frequency of VFO A at the VFO-CRS rate. Whilst it does duplicate features it also allows the MAIN knob to be left at a slow rate and OFS used for quick

Warren- I believe that if you use the"rate" button to the left of the main tuning knob, on the bottom row that it does this function. At least, that was what I was doing before I realized the OFS knob does the same thing. I still have not read the entire manual, nor do I understand all of the fu

Using the OFS mode for Course tuning and the Main VFO knob for Fine tuning is great but this is at the expense of the DISPlay function. It would be great to leave the VFO B display set as DISPlay but still have the option to Course tune via the VFO B Knob, rather than changing the tuning rate of t
