And thanks for asking, Wayne. 73 to all Geoff G3UCK I agree with this opinion, I would like a programmable fixed setting. Having transitioned from another brand of radio that had three filter presets, I thought I would miss them in the K3. I liked the idea of cycling through three different filters to find which one suited the conditions at the time. But as I used the K3 more and more, I found that I wasn't switching from I to II at all. I learned that I could dynamically manipulate the filter with the width control (or hi/lo cut) to my liking. But I would get "lost" occasionally and having a preset "home" is a good idea. You can use the NORM setting, but that is factory preset. Having the user adjust the NORM setting would be a good idea. Switching quickly back and forth between two filters is also a desired function, but the delay in the "push and hold" activation of I and II seems too long to make that function useful in a quickly changing environment. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

I would prefer to have it two ways. As it is now and a favorite programmable "starting point set" for each of the modes SSB, CW, FSK, and Data.

RE: [Elecraft] K3 filter presets I/II: present and futurefunctionality
My K3 won't be here for another month, but I also would prefer the Presets I and II that return to the programmed values. I would also like the S meter to give the same reading with different selections of preamp and attenuator. Thanks and 73 ...

I use them often as well, but probably would prefer I to be fixed rather than tweakable. (of course, having ones cake and eating it too ain't bad, either!)
