I do not have a tuner in my K3 because I have all resonant antennas - no tuner required, so I bow to your experience. 73, Don W3FPR K6LE wrote: Have to disagree Don! I have a ladder line fed doublet (with outside balun) attached to Ant 1 and an R7 on Ant 2. I have Ant 1 set to use the ATU and Ant 2 Bypassed since I don't need the tuner for it. When I switch between Ant 1 and 2 the ATU indicator comes on for 1 and off for 2. Slick!

[Elecraft] K3 filter/DSP selection?
Hello, I have a K2 and am considering selling it to fund a bare bones K3. However, what I find awkward about the K2 is the way the cw filters (I only do cw) and the DSP filters are selected ... too much button pushing to get the bandwidth I need and if I go past the best setting I have to scroll all the way thru again. Plus no easy way to activate DSP noise reduction unless I have it pre-programmed. So I'm trying to understand how this is accomplished on the K3. I'd love to have a knob to control the filter and DSP bandwidth, a pushbutton to activate DSP, and another pushbutton to activate DSP noise reduction. I've looked thru the K3 operating manual but am not exactly following it. Could someone please shed a little light on how the K3 performs this and if they find it user friendly? thanks in advance. chuck af4xk __ 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
