[Elecraft] APF

Sam;
     Your explanation is really good Sam, but it seems that something doesn't follow for me.

I am not sure what the "SHIFT Fc Knob" is--if it is just the regular "Shift-Lo" knob then this doesn't do anything for me when I turn it. Is this the right knob?  Do I need something turned on in CONFIG for it to work?


I have had my K3 a little more than 1yr., and I sort of remember that MAYBE I could move the passband once at first, but I my be remembering bad!

Thanks for the help.  73
