1st of all let me be clear, I was merely quoting from my notes that I
had copied from a post (or web site?) that Dusty K3WC wrote
that said
yes it was the Shift knob Dusty was speaking of
calling it the Shift Fc (frequency) knob
when I turn mine it says (in the VFO B window)
APF *0.48 (my pitch is set for 480hz)
so I have to turn the Shift knob until I see it say APF 0.46
meaning it's at 460hz or 20hz below my default pitch of 480hz
sorry I'm not as good as Dusty at explaining these things

cut...========================
Turn on the RIT control (tap the RIT button). Next, lower the RIT
frequency -20 Hz. (You must have CONFIG:PB CTRL in the config menu
set to .01 to move in 10 Hz steps). If your pitch is set to 500 Hz,
then the tone of the CW should now be 480 Hz. Next, turn on the APF
by HOLDING the DUAL PB button. Adjust the APF using the SHIFT Fc
Knob (now APF control). Move the APF down -20 Hz to match the CW
signal. Once you have the signal in the center of the new 480 Hz
tone you should hear that the CW signal pops up about 5 or 6
dB.... Ok, I did this, first setting my pitch at 500 Hz, which
actually even cut out some ringing! I got the station centered,
etc., turned RIT down -20, activated APF, but then the problem
began.
I am not sure what the "SHIFT Fc Knob" is--if it is just the regular
"Shift-Lo" knob then this doesn't do anything for me when I turn it.
Is this the right knob? Do I need something turned on in CONFIG for
it to work?
I have had my K3 a little more than 1yr., and I sort of remember that
MAYBE I could move the passband once at first, but I my be
remembering bad!
Thanks for the help. 73
