[Elecraft] [K3] K3 and Logger32 logging program

[hank k8dd]

If you click on a DX spot, or type in the frequency to change to another band and / or mode and the filters do not switch to the default settings ....
And you are using Logger32 ----- Here is the answer to get SSB settings on SSB, Data settings on Data and CW settings on CW sent to the K3!

In the help file there is a section on the K3, but that is for pre-MCU 2.00.  
Here is an update to how it works for MCU 2.00 and above:

Filter selection
The K2 and K3 should always store those filter setting by each mode. If you select the mode by manually or 
clicking DX spot then in the future  they will select the filter by stored setting.
There is another way to select a filter directly from Logger32. Add one or two of the following section in 
the Logger32.ini. “n” in FW0000n is Filter number of your K2.  FWnnnn is the DSP bandwidth on your K3 (see 
examples below).  The K3 will select the proper first IF (roofing) filter.

For radio 1 (Elecraft) put following lines (Sample for K3)

For K3 below MCU Firmware 2.00
    [Elecraft Filter 1]             # This is for Radio 1
    USB=K22; FW00001;               # K22; puts the K2 or K3 in 'extended mode;  FW0000x sets the filter to FLx
    LSB=K22; FW00001;
    RTTY=K22; FW00002;
    CW=K22; FW00002;
For K3 MCU Firmware 2.00 and above
    [Elecraft Filter 1]                            This is for Radio 1
    USB=K31;FW0270;FW0270;         # K31; puts the K3 in 'extended mode'   FW0270; is 2700 Hz for the DSP filter
    LSB=K31;FW0260;FW0260;         # K31; puts the K3 in 'extended mode'   FW0260; is 2600 Hz for the DSP filter
    RTTY=K31;FW0100;FW0100;        # K31; puts the K3 in 'extended mode'   FW0100; is 1000 Hz for the DSP filter
    CW=K31;FW0070;FW0070;          # K31; puts the K3 in 'extended mode'   FW0070; is 700 Hz for the DSP filter

K3 DSP filter is set to the closest lower 50 Hz.  i.e. FW0069; will default to 650 Hz.

For radio 2 (Elecraft) put following lines (Sample for K2).
    [Elecraft Filter 2]            # This is for Radio 2
    USB=K22; FW00001;
    LSB=K22; FW00002;
    RTTY=K22; FW00003;
    CW=K22; FW00004;
    
You may need to repeat the command for certain filter selections, especially in K3. 
    CW=K22; FW00002; FW00002;
