[Elecraft] K3 PB Ctrl Shift .01/.05

[drewko]

I guess that's my problem... Wide CW to me is greater than 1 KHz BW,
which I often use. A weak signal in these wide passbands can be
improved alot by shifting the passband. But a 0.01 step, assuming it
even covered the entire range, would be pretty tedious for such wide
BW. So, yeah... I use both .01 and .05. It's just a little
inconvenient when changing from one to the other and the WIDTH gets
reset to 400 Hz every time.
