[Elecraft] Using NORM 12 for K3 Bandwidth settings of Filters and DSP in each mode except FM

[John Lawrence]

 Fred

The detailed explanation fills in a key missing detail that I'd not seen 
printed anywhere before. 

NCCC's  Fred Jensen , thank you for the following:


To save your particular settings to a preset, set I/II [your choice] by 
HOLDING the knob, and set the radio up as you wish.  They're saved.  If 
you toggle to the other preset and do other things, the configuration 
will re-appear the next time you toggle to back the first preset.

The NORM function [HOLDING the LO/SHIFT knob] will normalize the DSP 
and roofing filter settings depending on mode.  There are two NORM's, 
creatively named NORM 1 and NORM 2.  Choose your desired DSP BW for CW 
and SSB.  HOLD NORM until until - SAV - appears.  Without releasing 
the knob, rotate it counter-clockwise just a little to save the settings 
to NORM 1, clockwise to save to NORM 2.

To get NORM 1 or NORM 2 back, HOLD NORM until - NOR - appears, and 
without releasing the knob, rotate it slightly counter-clockwise [NORM 
1] or clockwise [NORM 2].  When you have NORMalized the radio, two 
little wings will appear at the ends of the DSP display slanting 
downward to indicate that you're set up in one of your 2 normalized 
settings.  They will go away as soon as you change DSP settings.

Hope this helps the original questioner.  If you don't have Fred's book, 
don't wait, get it.  I've never found much use for the presets and NORM, 
I suspect I'm not real creative with my radio. :-)


I'll bet, since Elecraft is in NCCC territory, they test for knob knowledge to 
become a member.  KB!! 

I'd been comparing notes on Knob Knowledge with my friend Ron and could'nt make 
this one function so I could figure out
applications of hte feature.  I can see low band CW contesting with one set of 
settings and another wider setting for the higher 
bands especially while multiplier nunting.  I'm always interesting in more 
thoughts.

I think the NORM's remember your roofing filter settings as well as the 
DSP when you do the - SAV - drill.  As I said, I haven't really used 
them except to try it out.  You should be able to set one up with your 
no QRM setting, and the other with a narrower filter and restricted 
DSP, and toggle between them:


HOLD the knob in until - NOR - appears, then, still holding, rotate 
CCW [NORM1] or CW [NORM2].  You don't have to rotate the knob very far, 
maybe only one encoder pulse?


I have just the stock CW and SSB roofing filters that come with the 
K3, and they switch when I run the DSP thru 500Hz so the normalize 
functions don't hold a whole lot of value for me.  I can see that, if 
you have additional roofing filters they could be much more useful.


No knob knowledge tests for NCCC but there are a bunch of K3's in the 
members' shacks, Tom, K5RC has four at two SO2R op positions at W7RN.
