Firmware 1.75...WOW!

[K5WA]

I don't know why I get pleasantly surprised by all the neat little goodies
tucked into these revisions, but it is so nice to see improvements and new
features showing up on the K3 hardware platform through firmware revisions.
Even though I like to think of myself as a CW only op, the SSB TX
adjustments sure help.  I like the fact that my DSP filter now goes in
100kHz steps rather than 200kHz steps above 2000kHz.  I'm still trying to
find a use for Alt1/Alt2, but at least it is there when I think of a good
use.  And the rig just sounds better (that's a qualitative technical term)
too.
 
Thanks Elecraft!!

Hi Bob.

I set ALT1 with  filter FC of 1000 Hz and about 700 Hz wide.  I used this
for most digital modes other than FSK-D or AFSK.  I set ALT2 with a LO of
900 Hz and a Hi of 2.4 kHz for SSTV.  Now all I have to do is recall these
on demand when needed.

For em, I find that Alt1 and Alt2 are soooo much more useful than the I/II
presets because now I have three 'hard' (fixed) presets, two of which I can
preset to parameters _I_ want to be able to access, KNOWING what they'll be
each and every time I select them. No more worrying about where I had
presets I and II configured when left them the last time and where they'll
be the next time I try to use them.
