[Elecraft] Another two question about my new K3

[Don Wilhelm]

Bruce,

You are expecting too much!  That menu name is "CW IAMB" - the "B" is 
part of the name and will not change.  The letter in the upper part of 
the display is the current setting.  Change the parameter to "b", exit 
the menu.  Then re-enter the menu and you should see the "b" still 
displayed (or change it to "A" rather than "b" and it should stay at "A".

73,
Don W3FPR
