The bandwidth appears to be limited when using 10 hz and it is painfully slow when the bandwidth is fairly wide. When I am in PSK or RTTY and using search and pounce, I use wide bandwidth in HRD and DM780 to find the signal I want on the screen and then narrow it in so it is better for me to ha

I guess that's my problem... Wide CW to me is greater than 1 KHz BW, which I often use. A weak signal in these wide passbands can be improved alot by shifting the passband. But a 0.01 step, assuming it even covered the entire range, would be pretty tedious for such wide BW. So, yeah... I use both .

Waited for the .01 shift for CW. When it came out I changed to the .01 shift and have *never* changed it back. .05 feels, sounds klunky on CW and does not allow me to play games with the skirts when a strong station is up or down and bothering me. I use the "400" and "250" 8 pole roofing filters

Wayne, I guess I like using both of the SHIFT steps for CW: .01 for narrow filters and .05 for wide of course. Seems like a natural to me, as well as assigning SHIFT to a function switch for quick access. I'm surprised many CW ops would not do this. Only, the reset to 400 Hz BW every time... 73,

Drew, I never imagined anyone would switch back and forth between .01 and . 05 kHz SHIFT steps when I added this feature. Our customers who had lobbied for .01 kHz tried this setting, then (presumably) kept it that way. The passband has to be normalized after changing this setting in order

Is there a reason why Config PB CTRL SHIFT forces BW to 400 Hz? It is annoying having to restore the BW setting from 400 Hz every time you change the PB shift step size, especially if you jump back and forth alot between the two step sizes. 73, Drew AF2Z __
