A hidden feature if you you want to toggle thought ALL filter slots, even if they are empty or not selected for the current Mode! *Go into any config menu starting with FL (except for FLTX); (IE "FLx BW", or "FLx FRQ" or "FLx GN" or "FLx ON") Then while in that menu, tap 6/XFIL, and it will got

Don, no apology necessary. But this is one item I was cautioned about before I purchased. I didn’t see your response until after Dick had responded. I’d have been confused! I’ve ewww had my K3 now for ten years and a local guru. But I can close my eyes and Stan at any page in the manual and

My apologies for my note yesterday on this subject, it was incorrect. I have just been informed by one of the Elecraft engineers that I erred in my statement that the K3 filters could be in any order, so Bill was right. See Dick's comments to me below.  I did not see that note in my early K3 m

Bill, I have never seen any restrictions like that.  If the filters are properly configured, that is all that counts. It may be a bit confusing though if (say) the filters cycle from FL3 to FL1 to FL4 as the bandwidth is narrowed, so mmost are in fact installed in descending bandwidth order.

Don’t forget, filters must be installed in descending bandwidth. The 13KHz filter (if installed) must be in slot 1 I believe. Right, Don? Sent from my iPhone ...nr4c. bill > On Nov 23, 2019, at 2:39 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: > > Robin, > > It will work like yours does if you only have one fi

Robin, It will work like yours does if you only have one filter configured and that filter is in the filter 2 location. If there is only one filter, it must be either the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz width filter. If you don't know which filters are installed, you will have to physically examine them (re

Hi, I have some questions regarding XFIL on the K3. When I look at the display it does not display FL1, and using XFIL tracks through FL2, FL3 and FL4, but never Fl1 ?. In the menu I see FL2 BW, FL2 FRQ, FL2 GN, FL2 ON, but nothing for FL1, FL3 and FL4 ? Also, when I hold XFIL button do

[Elecraft] XFIL button K3

2008-04-13 Thread John Trager
Why is it that when I tap the XFIL button on K3, doesn't it always go to the next filter? For instance, if I turn the rig off and then back on, it just continues to stay at FL1 when I push the XFIL button. I I do anything with the config menu, then it seems to work... Thanks, John __

Marshall, Sadly, that is a common situation, although it is not really a problem since the filters and BFOs on the K2 can easily be modified. You need to do a filter alignment. While you are in the process of doing that, you may as well go full bore and do the dial calibration part too. Fo

[Elecraft] XFIL

2007-09-06 Thread William Denny
Hello all, I recently bought an Elecraft K2 from ebay. It will very well with one exception. The first two XFIL setting work well but the third and fourth XFIL settings require an adjustment in the receive frequency to copy the signal. Where should I start to discover the nature of this problem.

[Elecraft] XFIL freq shift

2006-04-22 Thread John Wiener
I have been thoroughly enjoying listening to 40M after Alignment PartII. I do notice that there is a frequency shift of about 700 Hz or so when switching from XFIL 2.20 to XFIL 2.0. Shifting to the next two XFIL, the audio is same as 2.20. So the only XFIL shift in audio is on XFIL 2,0.
