[Elecraft] Re: K3 selectivity display?

[wayne burdick]

Craig,

There are five discrete icons on the LCD (FL1-FL5) to remind you which 
filter is selected at any given time. Generally you don't need to 
remember what each one is, because they're selected automatically as 
you rotate the WIDTH control. The numeric value of the width (etc.) is 
also shown as the control is rotated.

If you'd like to get a quick reminder of what the actual crystal filter 
bandwidth is, you could assign a tap or hold  programmable switch 
function to the crystal filter bandwidth menu entry (FLx BW).
