K3 Unanswered Questons

[Bill W4ZV]

         In my admittedly quick scan of the
manual I still have some unanswered questions.

1.  What step sizes are available for:

DSP BW  (50?)
PBT
CW Pitch

2.  What is the range of AGC SLP?  Wasn't
there some discussion of a mode emulating
the K2 AGC (i.e. piecewise linear approximation)?

3. What is the range of the Context filter?  Is
the 20 dB attenuation adjustable?

         I realize most of these could
be answered if I had my K3 in front of me but
maybe someone who does can help.

                         73,  Bill  W4ZV

All of these are presently 50 Hz. There was talk of making finer steps
available; they might do it in the future.

The range is 0-15. 15 is very flat; 0 reduces AGC action. I think I like
to use a lowish value in everyday operation, but I increase it in a
contest. I used 10 for the  CQP.

It's presently not adjustable. It's a work in progress; I know Wayne
will be improving it.

Yes.

Same.

> CW Pitch

Same.

We may change these in the future.

The parameter range is 0-15, which translates to (qualitatively) "not
flat at all" to "very flat". I'm sure I could do a better job of
explaining this in the Owner's Manual someday.

At present, 0.6 to 2.8 kHz.

Not at present.

We'll increase the range of these and other settings as time permits,
and when warranted based on user feedback.
