Hello Dick. Some will prefer to use Dual-PB all the time, in RUN-CQ and some in S&P. It's a choice.
I am new with the K3 but found a little difficult to tune rapidly a station in S&P using the DPB. It is so sharp. Maybe with practice it would be ok. So I decided to use it only when I was inf RUN-CQ mode with the DSP filter at 300Hz. I had the clarifier ON if need and resetted via my CQ macro. In RTTY my SHIFT is always centered. If you had problems with off-freq. it probably came from using AFC and NET on MMTTY. Here I have them OFF all the time. I will be still experimenting that in the BARTG contest. One thing for sure, I could feel the improment using a K3 in RTTY.

I am new to RTTY and in last weekends NA-RTTY Test I was NOT using Dual Passband, and I was often off-frequency when changing bands as my SHIFT setting was often different for each band. I believe if I had been using "Dual Passband" that I would have been on frequency as that disables the SHIFT control. Question: if your not using DUAL PASSBAND then what is the proper setting for SHIFT? Perhaps centering the SHIFT in the middle of the K-3's on screen display? Or is it true that if NET is On in MMTTY then it will put the transmitter on the receiver frequency even if SHIFT is not centered? Thanks for your thoughts! 73, Dick- K9OM Normally I dont need the DPB. But when in RUN-CQ mode with QRM in the last NAQP I was very happy to have it. 73 Claude Du Berger VE2FK _ve...@arrl.net_ (mailto:ve...@arrl.net) ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
