[Elecraft] K3 filter/DSP selection?

[chuck allen]

Hello,

I have a K2 and am considering selling it to fund a bare bones K3. However, what I find awkward about the K2 is the way the cw filters (I only do cw) and the DSP filters are selected ... too much button pushing to get the bandwidth I need and if I go past the best setting I have to scroll all the way thru again. Plus no easy way to activate DSP noise reduction unless I have it pre-programmed.

So I'm trying to understand how this is accomplished on the K3. I'd love to have a knob to control the filter and DSP bandwidth, a pushbutton to activate DSP, and another pushbutton to activate DSP noise reduction. I've looked thru the K3 operating manual but am not exactly following it.

Could someone please shed a little light on how the K3 performs this and if they find it user friendly?

thanks in advance.
