Dick, you are on target about the TenTec reflector. The same thing is going
on at the FT-2000 reflector now. It seems every item warrants a flame from
someone who does not agree.
The Elecraft reflector is very tame compared to the FT-2000. Eric and Wayne
are to be credited for not only

The Orion does a good enough job with DSP that it isn't easy to distinguish
between 600Hz, 400Hz, or 200Hz.
Dick the K3 has a visual passband indicator that gives you an indication of
the passband in octaves (e.g.. ~250 Hz, 500 Hz and 1000 Hz for CW). I
doubt I'll miss reading BW to
Barry N1EU, regarding your comment about shape factor, I assume you know

slopes on the context filter are not adjustable either so we're

FWIW I am 99.9% sure that all these values will be available via the CAT
interface sooner or later.

Ditto that Doug,
When I'm contesting with my K2 the only knob that gets twiddled is the
VFO with an occasional push of XFIL. I can't imagine a big gun station
holding sway on 20 meters moving anything on the rig. They sure don't
have to S+P like we
The notion that some/many serious cw contesters don't adjust
selectivity occasionally/often during a contest is absurd. When
you're keeping a run going in tough crowded conditions, with offending
stations moving in on you from either side, you tighten the receiver
up. When the offenders move

I think Wayne and Eric can handle any amount of
