I just checked, here is my result:<br>
K3 (FW 5.6)<br>
set AutoInfo to 1: K3 sends out IF-msgs while moving the VFO knob, even <br>
on 10Hz changes.<br>
admittedly, the time between the messages does not exactly <br>
correspond to how fast you turn the knob<br>
<br>
set AutoInfo to 2: K3 sends out FA/FB messages, WT does not react to them<br>
<br>
KX3: (FW 2.9)<br>
same as K3<br>
<br>
K2: (FW 2.04)<br>
same as K3, except it only sends messages after the VFO knob stops with <br>
a delay of about 1-2 seconds.<br>
