NEW: K3 Front Panel Switch Customization

I especially like the "Cleanup Macro" but have added the step to return the bandwidth to normal by adding SWH58; Now looks like: FT0;RT0;XT0;LN0;SB0;SWH58;

K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

Is there a reason why Config PB CTRL SHIFT forces BW to 400 Hz? It is
annoying having to restore the BW setting from 400 Hz every time you
change the PB shift step size, especially if you jump back and forth
alot between the two step sizes.

Drew,

I never imagined anyone would switch back and forth between .01 and .
05 kHz SHIFT steps when I added this feature. Our customers who had
lobbied for .01 kHz tried this setting, then (presumably) kept it that
way.

The passband has to be normalized after changing this setting in order
to clean up internal variables associated with SHIFT and WIDTH.

Re: K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

The bandwidth appears to be limited when using 10 hz so particularly in psk
or rtty, I also switch fairly often and just dont use 10 hz unless I NEED
it. What would be nice, if possible, is to auto change to 10 hz shift when
you adjust your width below 200 or so and back when you go above that width.

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP

Re: K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

In reply to this post by wayne burdick

Wayne,

I guess I like using both of the SHIFT steps for CW: .01 for narrow
filters and .05 for wide of course. Seems like a natural to me, as
well as assigning SHIFT to a function switch for quick access. I'm
surprised many CW ops would not do this. Only, the reset to 400 Hz BW
every time...

Re: K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

Waited for the .01 shift for CW. When it came out I changed to the .01
shift and have *never* changed it back.

.05 feels, sounds klunky on CW and does not allow me to play games with the
skirts when a strong station is up or down and bothering me. I use the
"400" and "250" 8 pole roofing filters set to come in at 450 and 350
respectively (mine measure 410 and 330 which suits me fine). My filter
above 450 is 1800. What do you mean by "wide" CW?

73, Guy.

Re: K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

I guess that's my problem... Wide CW to me is greater than 1 KHz BW,
which I often use. A weak signal in these wide passbands can be
improved alot by shifting the passband. But a 0.01 step, assuming it
even covered the entire range, would be pretty tedious for such wide
BW. So, yeah... I use both .01 and .05. It's just a little
inconvenient when changing from one to the other and the WIDTH gets
reset to 400 Hz every time.
