I wonder whether all this talk about snaps, crackles and pops is worth the bandwidth... I hear the relay clicks and one light pop on my s/n 586 too... So what? If Eric "cares to comment", as someone said, I can imagine what he's going to say 73 Richard - Richard - HB9ANM -- Vi

[Elecraft] [K3]: APF or Dual PB? You can have both!

ch between HICUT and WIDTH... which is not so annoying. Then changing CONFIG:DUAL PB to NOR again, setup "II" kept the APF and now, switching between "I" and "II", I can choose between APF and DUAL PB without going through the CONFIG procedure. I find this very con

Hi Jim The M1-4 buttons have no "Hold" function. But the REC button has one: hold it to get into BANK 1, again for BANK 2. Then tap it to return to the normal M1-M4... 73 Richard - HB9ANM - Richard - HB9ANM -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com
