[Elecraft] K3 Serial Commands?

[Joe Subich, W4TV]

Don, 

The question was asked in regard to the K3 - not the K2.  

Unfortunately, the K3 does not (yet) seem to be able to select a 
specific filter/bandwidth only the next filter in sequence with 
the default DSP bandwidth for that filter/mode. 

Regards,
