[Elecraft] K3 Macros (help setting narrow filters on SSB)

	I am trying to set various filter bandwidths and center frequencies for 
SSB using macros on the K3 Utility command tester.

	I am having trouble understanding the "K2" and "K3" mode commands and 
when they are appropriate. If I want to set a bandwidth of 1.6 kHz and I 
have a 1.8 kHz roofing filter in position 4, how do I set it with a 
center frequency of 1.2 kHz? I usually end up with the roofing filter 
bandwidth and the default (no good for SSB) center frequency.

	Linked with this is the fact that the low frequency is only adjustable 
in 100 Hz steps but may be offset by 50 Hz depending on the bandwidth. 
50 Hz makes a big difference at narrow audio bandwidths. It takes quite 
a bit of juggling to change the low from say 500 Hz to 450 Hz.

	 Are there any macro filter examples or is there a tutorial anywhere?
