[Elecraft] K3 Filter Presets

[Richard Ferch]

Scott,

The filter "presets" I/II are not fixed presets. The manual calls them 
"floating" presets. If you happened to have setting II active at the 
time you pressed the NORM button, the II setting would have been changed 
to the NORM setting.

If you want fixed presets, you need to use the custom settings (NORM1 
and NORM2).

You could think of the I/II settings in somewhat the same way as you 
think of the two VFOs, whereas the NORM1/2 settings are more like 
frequency memories.

With the 2.8 and 2.1 kHz filters enabled for USB, for example, I saved them as presets I and II.  That seemed to work with the I/II switch, until I held the NORM switch once.  After that, I/II would not switch to the 2.1 kHz filter.  Behavior was similar in CW mode.  Am I missing something?
