This function is already available via the shift/Lo encoder - Norm, Norm 1 and Norm 2. Separate values of Norm 1 and Norm 2 can be saved for each mode. It would be handy to be able to customize the "Norm 0" values as well and perhaps be able to define PF1/PF2 to recall Norm1/Norm2 without going through the hold/twist routine. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony > Fegan VE3QF > Sent: Monday, September 15, 2008 3:45 PM > To: K3 Support; [Elecraft] > Subject: [Elecraft] K3 SSB Possible Filter Set XFIL option > > > K3 SSB Possible Filter Set XFIL option > > Some of us have physical limitations that hinder our > ability to get the > most out of the K3. > > 1.
