K3 Contest Operation Question

[John - N0EVH]

When I run QRP in major contests like this weekend I search and pounce and work my way up the band bottom to top.  I run with the filter on 2.7.

Using N3FJP logger and winkeyer I was wondering is there a way I can have a keyboard shortcut to switch the K3 from the 2.7 to the 400 filter so I don't have to double tap the xfil button.

Looking for ideas.

I basically ignore the filter switches and use the WIDTH control,
setting it to what's needed at the time.  The narrow roofing filter
automagically kicks in at 400 Hz and below.

John,

Since you are operating from a logger, I suggest you set up macros to
control the filter width.  Use the BW command.  See the K3 programmer's
reference.
