Setting up the frequency offset for the K3 standard filter

[Carl Yaffey]

The standard 2.7khz filter has the frequency offset marked as 2.7khz. When I try to enter that value during configuration (CONFIG, FL1 FRQ) I see values that range from -1.28 to +.25
What should I be setting it to?

The offset of a 2.7 kHz filter is very likely a lot less than 2.7 kHz.  Is
there no other marking on the filter?

Carl,

There should be another number on it proceeded by a + or -.  The 2.7 kHz
is the width, not the offset.
I don't know where they are marking the offset on the filter at the
present time, but those at Elecraft support should be able to tell you.

That other number should be in the range of -1.28 to +.25.
If it really is marked with an offset of 2.7 kHz, it is a marking
mistake and you should contact Elecraft to arrange a swap with one that
is properly marked.

73,
