[Elecraft] New K3S build filter placement

2017-12-09 Thread Tom Norris
I have made my way to preparing to install the filters I purchased for the project.

I'm beginning my learning curve with my new K3S Kit (after a trip to Elecraft for them to correct the 400hz filter I put in backwards! Otherwise it was a good, fun build). I'm wanting to practice CW sending and I am able to see my K3S paddle input characters in the K3S VFO B. But I am not able to r
