So, I just (today) bought a used KX3. I've owned gobs of Icoms and Yaesu's, so the Elecraft controls are pretty foreign to me.
I do own a K3 but have quite literally used it 3 times in the 6 or whatever years I've owned it. It's packed away. I've looked in the 2 books I've rec'd but it doesn't spell it out "exactly" and maybe I am just being daft. I';m off work today, under the weather, so not firing on all cylinders.(hi) I am wondering about the various filter widths and how to adjust. It almost seems like it goes to FIL 1, 2 3 automatically as I adjust the PB tuning,. IS THIS THE WAY FILTERS WORK? In my Icoms (hope that's not a dirty word here), I have to purposely select individual filters with a button press or two or three as it cycles through them. It's been so long since I used my K3 (3-4 yrs?) that I don't even recall how it's done, but my sense was that it was different on the K3. Thanks for answering this obviously very basic question. I don't have a good way to set up and operate in the tiny shack, but I may try to put it on a wire in the livingroom later this month and familiarize myself with some settings on these Elecrafts.
