Hi John: It's kind of like setting your PC to show invisible files. There's always the chance that you might mess something up that's why it's not recommended. If you're careful when you go into CONFIG you won't mess up any of the more technical settings. If you are the careless type you might want to leave TECH MD off.
I like to play around with several different CONFIG settings so I allocated them to special buttons. Then it only takes one push (or one hold) to bring them up. The obvious special function buttons are PF1 and PF2. But if you are not using the M1 through M4 buttons for recording purposes you can also use them for special features. Instructions are in the manual. 73, Mike K2MK On my K3 I often change the AGC -- S setting. I like 5 for general listening, but 20 when I'm net control so I don't miss the weak check-ins. Each time I go through the menu to first set TECH MD on and then after making the change, setting TECH MD to off. Somewhere in the manual it said to turn TECH MD off after you make changes. Is this really necessary? What are the dire consequences of leaving TECH MD on? It would save me a couple of steps. 73 de K1ESE John ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
