Re: [Elecraft] APF suggestion
What do you propose for those of us that use the Notch all the time? Should it just be removed? If there's this much trouble with toggling through filters on accident, wouldn't it make more sense to have the tap XFIL button the APF on/off button, and the HOLD the Dual PB on/off function? A message could come up saying APF N/A if the Dual PB was on, and a message that said Dual PB N/A if the APF were already on Of course there could be a menu selection for those that want to have the XFIL button work as normal... Honestly, after testing the APF I really don't find THAT much need to open and close the filters while I'm in the APF mode, if I do, I guess I could just as easily turn the Width knob to adjust the Width to my liking Just my opinion.

Re: [Elecraft] APF suggestion
Perhaps it's me doing something dumb, but the Notch function doesn't seem to work concurrently with the APF; ergo my suggestion. What I find with the XFIL button is that I'm inadvertently and frequently toggling through the filter settings when I just want to enable/disable the APF.

Re: [Elecraft] APF suggestion
That's the problem dumping too many functions into one box, I think. I have an Elecraft AF1 Audio Filter between the K3 and my phones. It's an active filter offering the same bandpass characteristic as the APF using analog devices except that it also offers two selections of Q. I can't decide whether one is better than the other: the APF or the AF1. But it is nice having separate controls for the filter function. 73, Ron AC7AC -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of The Smiths What do you propose for those of us that use the Notch all the time?

Re: [Elecraft] APF suggestion
I'm still running Alpha software and my notch does work with the APF on.. so I'm not sure if it doesn't in the 4.18 release software. But I still wouldn't want to loose the option for it to work if I had to go into the menu to select between the two tools. The DSP CAN'T run the Dual PF and the APF at the same time, therefore using that Dual PB button was the best answer to the problem of where to put it. However, like I said, since people are having toggle issues with hitting the XFIL on accident instead of HOLDING Dual PB, I figured that it would be best to just put it there instead. The N/A reminder would tell people when they need to turn one or the other off...

When it is in manual mode you have to adjust the notch the carrier using the VFO B knob. 2. The APF does not work when you TAP the XFIL button. That changes the filter. You have to HOLD the DUAL PB button. When a label is yellow it means that you have to hold the button above the label down (I think it's for 200ms) to active the menu item named in yellow.
