K3 Shift

K5DNL
Hello All,

I built S/N 1354 from a kit , with FW 3.25 , I have
installed most of the mods.
I operate digi modes some of the time and I need to
set the shift to 1.25 instead of 1.50 to be centered
in the IF strip. It's been this way ever since I built
it. I'm not sure what I have setup wrong .
All filters are 8 pole .
With the new shift steps set to 10 hz the shift control
knob needs to be set all the way to the left ( 1.28 )
to be centered.

Also on 160 M when I rotate the RIT knob fast to change
the frequency I have some kind of image, Not sure what
this is ??

Thanks for your help
73 Ken K5DNL

Hi Ken.  You can save two unique filter setups using the NORM knob.

1.  First, hold NORM to clear any shift to give you a good starting point.
2.  Now set desired WIDTH and SHIFT the FC to where you want it.
3.  Now do a LONG HOLD of the NORM knob till you see <SAVE>.  Rotate the knob while you
have it pressed to the left to save your custome filter to setting 1.
4.  Do the same process and rotate to the knob to the RIGHT to save setting 2.

I do this for SSTV and PSK.  Its a quick and easy way to recall a custome filter for
digital modes.

Also, If you use DXLabs (and I believe others can do this as well but its very easy in
DXL) you can enter CAT commands by mode.  So when I use WinWarbler and select PSK it
automatically sets the shift and the BW, and power output to what I want.  No need to go
to the radio to make any changes.  It just happens.

Hope this helps!
