[Elecraft] K3: BW direction?
OK...my 2 cents. I just looked at the Yaseu 2000 instruction manual on line. To narrow the bandwidth, you turn the knob counter-clockwise (and vice versa). Some Kenwood radios (eg, TS940) have a VBT control (variable bandwidth tuning). Turning the knob counter-clockwise makes the BW narrower - and that radio is 20 years old, so this is far from something new. So the K3 seems fine to me! de Doug KR2Q ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.

Yes...and all 4 small knobs including WIDTH are consistently silk-screened + for CW and - for CCW. Turning WIDTH + (CW direction) indeed makes the filter BW wider. Elecraft will NOT change this so let's either get over it or go find something else to complain about. 73, Bill -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/K3%3A-BW-direction--tp618996p623996.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] K3: BW direction?
Another 2 cents... My all-time old favorite rig, the even older Kenwood TS830S' VBT had the counter-clockwise turn = narrower bandwidth. So, Elecraft's implementation is exactly what I like. It brings back fond memories of my early contesting days. 73, Henry - K4TMC K3/100 #98 ** Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
