Filters and the KRX3 vs Main

[AB3EN]

I have the KRX3 installed and up and running. Really slick.

Question:

I have the 2.8 filter on the sub-receiver KRX3 and the FM, 6kHz, 2.8 kHz, and 1.8 kHz on the main. Is there any advantage to having the same set in the KRX3 as the main?  It would appear that the 2.8 kHz in the KRX3 works well, however I am a little unsure of how to invoke a larger or smaller band pass on the KRX3 without changing the setup on the main. Help is always appreciated.

Great radio! Lots to learn and never a dull moment. Thanks Elecraft, and thanks to all the folks on the reflector.

Thanks

I would like to request that the operation of the CWT function be changed.
Now when ever I am on CW and enable CWT as soon as I change modes, or switch
bands, the CWT function is turned OFF.  I would like to see the CWT function
remain ON until I turn it OFF.  This function can either be global or on a
per-band basis.  Right now it's a real pain to have to re-enable CWT
everytime I switch modes, or bands, and return to CW mode.

I know the firmware change request list is very long but I hope this can be
implemented sooner rather then later.

Many thanks to the Owners/Designers of Elecraft for encouraging it's
customers to make suggestions and actually implement a significant number of
change requests.  Elecraft is truly unique in this regard.  Thank you!

Yes, Yes ... me too!

I too, would appreciate this addition.  I thought I might
be the only one who noticed this "omission".  Turning
on "CWT " is the first thing I do after landing on a band.

I'm a CW-only type and I never operate without it ... or
"SPLIT" mode, for that matter.  It could remain on all
the time "CW" is the chosen mode.

Hi Joe,
Thanks for the observation.  Yes, I now confirm that if I'm operating CW
with the CWT function turned ON and then switch to another band (which was
previously left in CW mode) then the CWT will remain ON.  However, if the
band I switched to is any other mode then CW then the CWT function is turned
OFF.  So it looks like half the request I asked for is already implemented!
Now all that is needed is to change the firmware to leave the CWT function
in whatever state I left it in prior to changing from CW to any other mode.

Thanks for your input Joe,
Frank - W6NEK

Great Wayne, thanks, just getting into CW now (you ask why so late -  
slow learner with CW - god I find it hard :-(
But I've found myself hitting CWT all the time.
