[Elecraft] Norm1 and Norm2 how to switch between them???

[Fred Jensen]

"The K3 remembers the DSP and roofing filter settings for each VFO and 
for each mode except FM.  These are called presets I and II and the 
filter settings saved in these presets are updated each time you change 
them."

Cady, Fred KE7X
"The Elecraft K3 - Design, Configuration, and Operation"
[All you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask!]
Pg 49, "Filter Presets" [Ver. 1.0]

There is no overt SAVE function for these parameters, they are 
automatically saved.  You toggle between I and II by HOLDING the 
HI/WIDTH knob until the I/II indicator changes.  HOLDING it again will 
toggle back.

To save your particular settings to a preset, set I/II [your choice] by 
HOLDING the knob, and set the radio up as you wish.  They're saved.  If 
you toggle to the other preset and do other things, the configuration 
will re-appear the next time you toggle to back the first preset.

The NORM function [HOLDING the LO/SHIFT knob] will "normalize" the DSP 
and roofing filter settings depending on mode.  There are two NORM's, 
creatively named NORM 1 and NORM 2.  Choose your desired DSP BW for CW 
and SSB.  HOLD NORM until until <- SAV -> appears.  Without releasing 
the knob, rotate it counter-clockwise just a little to save the settings 
to NORM 1, clockwise to save to NORM 2.

To get NORM 1 or NORM 2 back, HOLD NORM until <- NOR -> appears, and 
without releasing the knob, rotate it slightly counter-clockwise [NORM 
1] or clockwise [NORM 2].  When you have NORMalized the radio, two 
little "wings" will appear at the ends of the DSP display slanting 
downward to indicate that you're set up in one of your 2 normalized 
settings.  They will go away as soon as you change DSP settings.

Hope this helps the original questioner.  If you don't have Fred's book, 
don't wait, get it.  I've never found much use for the presets and NORM, 
I suspect I'm not real creative with my radio. :-)

QKK 5  "I know how to use five of them."
