George: How do you monitor a mode that you dont have a filter for?
When you disable a mode for transmit, logically, it shouldnt show up in the display when you scroll through the modes... It is after all DISABLED. Same thing with AGC. Just had a couple of friends using a borrowed K3 for the first time in a mobile in FQP this past weekend that accidentally pressed and held the AGC button, turning off the AGC. They noticed that the front panel display saidn "AGC-" so they assumed that AGC was on and were amazed when multiple stations blasted their ears off. Since there is no little S or little F after the AGC, it was actually off, as we more experienced K3 pilots understand. Would be nice if when the AGC was off if AGC disapeared or we could put a O for off or a X for "crossed out=off" on the display. Minor stuff that you learn, but details are everything sometimes. I can live with what we have, but un other words, if it was an airplane, it would have killed them! Glad its just Ham Radio! You never get a second chance to make a first impression to a user... -lu-w4lt- K3 # 3192 Message: 4 Date: Tue, 3 May 2011 13:04:27 -0400 From: "GDanner" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Dissable AM To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <7C6B28DD3D914658ADCD3FB6C681C3D7@OfficeDeskTop> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" All: If you mean that a mode is not enabled for transmit; then I disagree. I do monitor to modes that I will probably never transmit especially if it means spending the funds to purchase filter(s). At some point the config. menu will become way too bloated to be effective; we might even be there already from a recent posting requesting full information on the menu options. Scrolling one more position is not an issue for at least one of us! My 2 cents!
