I have this same discussion (which way to turn the width control) on a regular basis.
Many people buy the variable-bandwidth NEScaf audio filter kit from the New England QRP Club www.newenglandqrp.org and ask which way they should wire the width pot. In those cases, I explain how the circuit works, and advise them to wire the pot the way -they- want it to respond. You can have it get narrower as you turn clockwise, if you wish. On the K3, Bandwidth being the control label, it should -increase- the bandwidth as you turn clockwise. So, I'm fine with the K3 response, as the control actually does what it is labelled to do. OK, so can we now re-open the discussion about which way the up/down band buttons should work? (just kidding...)
