Hi, Don!

Right, this is what I've been trying to say, but saying it poorly, apparently!

K3's SHIFT and WIDTH controls, being separate controls, do *not* do what I have 
been calling "IF shift" as implemented in old radios.

That being the case, if what one wants is the old-style IF shift, or for 
example to use the controls as Dave AB7E described, one has to adjust two 
controls. In the heat of battle, you may find it advantageous to have a single 
control do both. That's all I'm saying.

Here is a possible macro to emulate the old-style IF shift:

SHIFTDN  = BW0200;IS 1000;
or
SHIFTUP  = BW0190;IS 1550;

This will narrow the bandwidth and do the shift, much like the old-style IF 
shift. These macros could be useful in a contest situation where you need to 
immediately change the passband to eliminate QRM while copying an exchange. The 
undo of these macros is something like:

UNSHIFT  = BW0240;IS 9999;
