[Elecraft] Yes another K3 question..

[FISCHER,GREG]

Brett,

I will post a detailed explanation on the FAQ this evening 
sometime.  But for a short answer...The two bottom knobs 
are transmit controls and function based on current 
operating mode.  The knobs function as the same tap and 
hold method as buttons.  For example, the bottom left 
button will default to SPEED when in CW mode.  If you HOLD 
it, it will then operate based on the label below the 
knob.  So that same knob would then control the break-in 
delay when operating semi-break-in.

The two controls on the top are receiver controls for 
filtering.  The one on the top left you can TAP to toggle 
between SHIFT and LO-CUT.  If you HOLD it, it normalizes 
the passband based on the selected IF Filter and DSP 
filter settings and zeros out any SHIFT.  The button to 
the right operates the same way, but the HOLD function 
toggles the filter user configurations between I and II 
(see FAQ for more info on this).

Thanks for asking and 73
Greg
