Hi Guy. No, the problem is my failing eyes. The graphic in question can be varied in width from 11 'segments' down to 3, via the width control, in 3 discreet, and very visible steps. That's just not enough granularity to accomplish what I was thinking about.
It's a design choice that our good friends in Aptos made for whatever reasons they had, and I don't think it (like anything else on the K3) was a trivial quirk. I actually only wanted to know if my K3 was reacting as designed. 73, Mike NF4L Guy Olinger K2AV wrote: > I think the problem may be the perception that the size of the width > indicators on the display is infinitely variable.
