Thanks for the report!
Re: your comment regarding the 50 and 100HZ bandwidth. I am surprised to
hear what you report. I have the 200Hz filter in FL5. I just put the

Yes, my experience also. 50 Hz steps are too much
at the narrower DSP filter settings. 10 Hz would be
good and BW less than 200 Hz.

Ken,
I just got a note about this from Vic, K2VCO, which I hope he posts to the
reflector. This is, apparently, a known bug in the firmware which will be
fixed in the future. For the time being, the workaround is to set IIR to ON
in the FL:x menu. After Vic mentioned that, I sort of remember

It's not in the manual. They are two different types of DSP filters. I
think FIR has slightly less ringing, but IIR has...something else.
Anyway, some people may prefer the sound of one to the other.

Sometimes I don't want a flat response curve. The higher slope values tend to
compress signals together and makes it difficult to separate them in a
pileup on the basis of strength as experienced as audio. Sometimes it helps
if stronger signals sound louder.

I've had lots of QSOs on 6m recently using my K3. My calibration worked

Hi All,
I got a chance to briefly see the 2nd RX for the K3 at Dayton. Sure looks
like a winner! Hopefully they will start going out the door at Aptos soon.

I still reversed Caps: 12/15 and 35/31. Cap 12/15 values are 560. Cap
35/31 are marked 560. Guess what I did? Yup. I read value 560 and placed
