As a new K3 owner, this gave me trouble for the first few days because the behaviour I expected was indeed that selectivity would be increased as I turned the control clockwise. Although I have adjusted my head, it still seems wrong (to me). Perhaps the reason for my expectation is different, though: I think of decreasing bandwidth as if it were tightening a screw or making an aperture smaller. Logically it seems like either of those operations would be accomplished by a clockwise motion. Maybe it's just me. 73 -- Doc N7DR -- Web: http://www.sff.net/people/N7DR
