[Elecraft] K3 suggestion...another

[Ted Bryant]

While discussion suggestions...

In the CQWW CW on 20m in the evening many of the Russian stations over the
polar path had tremendous flutter on their signals.  Found it was often
easier to copy them with the AGC on "slow" instead of "fast". AGC is about
the only "rough spot" I've found with my K3.  And I've read all the
write-ups, tried the various settings, played with the rf gain, etc. Guess
I've sorta gotten use to it but believe there is still room for improvement.
The CQWW experience lead me to this thought:

What is the possiblity of having slow/medium/fast AGC settings for cw and
separate s/m/f settings for ssb?  Currently, for my hearing at least, if I
adjust Fast for cw it's often too fast for ssb; if I adjust Slow for ssb
it's too slow for cw. And Fast isn't always the best for cw nor is Slow
always the best for ssb.

Tony,

The power level is displayed if you change the Power knob even a small
amount - just rotate he knob a little to see the current power.

The bandwidth graphic already shows the bandwidth in use.  While it has
some granularity, it is still a good indicator of the DSP bandwidth.
The exact bandwidth and/or high-cut, low-cut frequencies (or
Shift/Width) are shown in the VFO B display when a change is made.   I
think what you are requesting is already there.

various bands.  Another thing that would be good to show is the bandwidth in
use, not only the filter selected.  Maybe both.
