Actually the FM is the widest filter, and should go in FL-1, followed by the
6.0, etc.

If any of the filters are 5-pole filters (bare PCBs with crystals on them) 
they have a number on them which needs to be entered in the config menu. If
you are moving a 5 pole filter you will have to zero out the number you
entered at its old position, and re-enter it at the new one.

You will then have to go through all the filter entries in the menu to
ensure that the K3 knows which filter is installed at each position, and
then you will have to specify which filter is enabled for each mode. It's
all described at the back of the User Manual.
