Well, Never mind. Thanks anyway. I did NOT have them turned on in all modes. It seems since I did that they work just fine after a power down. More questions to follow I am sure. 73 Mike Sanders KØAZ -Original Message- From:

I never use the XFIL buttons. I dial the bandwidth I want by twisting the width knob just to the left of VFO A. Or I tap the LOW knob to normalize the settings for CW or phone. 73 de Dick, K6KR -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net

Or I tap the LOW knob to normalize the settings for CW or phone. Of course you mean *hold* the LOW knob ... It would be handy if *hold* would normalize at 2.8 KHz bw in DATA A and 400 Hz in AFSK A/FSK D for data modes. Normalizing to 400 Hz in DATA A is a problem. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On

Hi Wes, This is by design. Selecting a filter manually via XFIL normalizes the DSP bandwidth to the crystal filter bandwidth. Using any other method (WIDTH, SHIFT, LO, HI) selects a crystal filter based on the DSP bandwidth (which you can see by rotating WIDTH, or just tapping it twice).

I have the 400/200 and have been happy with it for CW and digital modes, though I added the 1KHz for CW tuning and wide digital modes (not RTTY). Leigh/WA5ZNU Jim Miller wrote: I keep seeing talk of the 400(435) or 500 combined with the 250(370). I see very little talk about the 200. My

Keep in mind that the working selectivity for shaving off QRM is provided by the adjustable DSP filter in the 2nd I.F. The crystal filters in the K3 are actually pre-filters whose primary function is to avoid overload from extremely strong signals. Ron AC7AC

Chris, Many people like the 1.8. I have the 2.1 Inrad combo in my ol' MP. Pretty narrow to my ears. And I can use the shift width controls to decrease the bandwidth some more. I ordered the 2.1 for my K3. If I need to knock out something, I'm convinced that the DSP filtering will make it so.

I have the 1.8 and like it - it's not hard to get SSB down to that and still hear clearly if you adjust it properly. I always start at 2.8KHz and then bring in the filter. On LSB, start by adjusting the Hi cut until you've almost got to 1.8KHZ, then adjust the Lo cut and maybe the high cut
