[Elecraft] K3 filter display size

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

I think the problem may be the perception that the size of the width
indicators on the display is infinitely variable. Those appear to be
individual designed segments, as are the letter segments.  It is not
an LCD screen with all images made from a graphics processor
generating pixel-based images, which could be varied to anything in
software.

One can see all the segments and everything that can be shown on the
display by tapping MENU, turning VFO B to LCD ADJ, and turning VFO A
counter-clockwise until all the segments light up.  Displaying
anything else would seem to involve replacing the display and the code
that drives it.

Elecraft would have to comment as to the facts of that choice, though
I would speculate that there is cost, coding complexity, space,
possibly internal noise considerations, and that keeping dedicated
segments updated occupies far less processor time and code than
graphics generation for an LCD, and they have chosen to concentrate
that power on signal processing.

73, Guy.
