Ok, I wont stop thinking about it till I get one,
there is nothing to be done about it. I was wondering if anyone had a good idea what is going on with the knobs on the K3. The bottom row, speed/in/delay and out/power/monitor. Mic comp is also in there, so somehow the knobs do keying speed, in (compression?), delay??. The other knob does out (compression?), power (power output?), monitor ( TX monitor volume?). On the knobs above, you also have normal and I/II. Not sure I understand how these knobs might work.... I also wonder how the 8 band RX and TX equalizers would be set up, and I wonder if you can adjust the TX one as you transmit.... Will the second receiver knob do anything at all without installing the 2nd receiver? I don't expect the elecraft crew to answer any questions, they should be busy perfecting and shipping my K3 out. I guess its good and bad building a product that people are screaming for! Watch what you ask for, you might just get it?

Brett,
I will post a detailed explanation on the FAQ this evening sometime. But for a short answer...The two bottom knobs are transmit controls and function based on current operating mode. The knobs function as the same tap and hold method as buttons. For example, the bottom left button will default to SPEED when in CW mode. If you HOLD it, it will then operate based on the label below the knob. So that same knob would then control the break-in delay when operating semi-break-in. The two controls on the top are receiver controls for filtering. The one on the top left you can TAP to toggle between SHIFT and LO-CUT. If you HOLD it, it normalizes the passband based on the selected IF Filter and DSP filter settings and zeros out any SHIFT. The button to the right operates the same way, but the HOLD function toggles the filter user configurations between I and II (see FAQ for more info on this). Thanks for asking and 73 Greg AB7R On Mon, 07 May 2007 14:17:03 -0400 Brett gazdzinski <[hidden email]> wrote: > Ok, I wont stop thinking about it till I get one, > there is nothing to be done about it. > > I was wondering if anyone had a good idea what is going >on > with the knobs on the K3. > The bottom row, speed/in/delay and out/power/monitor. > Mic comp is also in there, so somehow the knobs do > keying speed, in (compression?), delay??. > The other knob does out (compression?), power (power >output?), > monitor ( TX monitor volume?). > > On the knobs above, you also have normal and I/II. > > Not sure I understand how these knobs might work.... > > > I also wonder how the 8 band RX and TX equalizers > would be set up, and I wonder if you can adjust the TX > one as you transmit.... > > Will the second receiver knob do anything at all without > installing the 2nd receiver? > > I don't expect the elecraft crew to answer any >questions, > they should be busy perfecting and shipping my K3 out. > > I guess its good and bad building a product that people >are > screaming for! > > Watch what you ask for, you might just get it? > > > Brett > N2DTS > > > > _______________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Post to: [hidden email] > You must be a subscriber to post to the list. > Subscriber Info (Addr.
