Can anyone tell me if the tuning steps on this receiver are a function
of hardware or software (firmware)? Or in other words is it possible to
change the tuning steps to say, 1 KHz?

The tuning
steps are set up for SWL use, and take some getting used to, for ham band
use.
There is a CLARIFIER control, for fine tuning CW and SSB, and to a lesser
extent, AM. But the steps are 100k Hz, 5 kHz and 2.5 kHz. Thus, signals
seem
to drop into the IF filters at 45 MHz and 455 kHz. Even though set up for
SSB
use, the CW selectivity in copying is not any worse than many older tube era
receivers of general coverage, and in fact, it sounded a lot like a more
stable version of my old Hallicrafters, but with cleaner CW tones, and no
drift! The 100 kHz step is used to go from band to band, or quickly go from
CW to high end of 10M.
