[Elecraft] Re: Why no IF shift ?

[PE1E]

Thanks to the various respondents.
I got the point.

BTW, my passband question was about SSB, no CW.
Though I do some phone contesting, I am obviously not experienced enough, is
that why I am grateful to the IF shift of my FT-100D   :-)   ?

Do I correctly understand ( my K2 will arrive next week ) that, if the BFO
would be a frontpanel button, a bandpass shift would be born ? ( delta tune
+ delta BFO = bandpass shift ? ).
Could one make such a BFO button oneself or does the firmware forbid such ?

Again, thanks to all..
Peter, PE1E
