[Elecraft] K3 filter presets I/II: present and future functionality

2008-03-04 Thread Barry McWilliams
I do use the presets (I/II). I would prefer the idea of fixed presets that get loaded into the working settings. Thanks for asking, Barry WK2S ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I haven't used them much. I do tend to forget I'm modifying a config and then of course, can't get back to it quickly. I find I'm pressing 'NORM' a lot, so I think perhaps I would prefer to set this up with presets. It's not clear to me how I would set these up per mode, I'd prefer to have 2

I understand that and I also guess quite a few would be - you have a very valid point. how about not displaying either I or II if you move the settings away from the preset? On 02/03/2008 12:20, Brett Howard [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent: For the record I'm more for as few things blinking as possible

Wayne, I am mainly a sideband operator. I like and use the presets. I have preset 1 set for narrow filter and shifted for best audio. Preset 2 is set for a wider filter for rag chewing. I agree with the points made by WB6MND and so would also prefer fixed presets. When the QRM starts, you

Tony, To reduce the width on SSB, try just using Hi Cut instead of the width and shift controls. Normally when reducing the SSB filter width, the low end should be near 300 Hz (the K3 uses 250 by default). Keeping the low frequency corner of the SSB filter fixed at 350 to 300 Hz preserves

Do you find the DSP/XFIL filter presets, I/II, useful? If you haven't tried them yet, please do. Here's the short version: In each mode, there are two presets (you can also think of them as configurations). Each preset is just a combination of DSP settings and the corresponding automatic

Greetings: I use the I/II switch especially when coupled with HRD DM718 in PSK-31 mode. With the switch setting to a previous wide (I) setting, I see the whole waterfall spectrum, pick a signal, click the DM718 centering which autosets the K3 freq to the center of the bandpass, click the I/II
