[Elecraft] Firmware glitch on Xtal Filter selection?

[Dr. James C. Garland]

Hi Rodger,
Try selecting the filters using the firmware download utility program. That
fixed those problems for me, and is also much more convenient to use. While
you've got the utility program running, also look at the terminal feature.
It's great for running PSK31 and other data modes with the K3.
