[Elecraft] K3/100 Crystal Filter Config using K3 Utility

[Walter V. Gilles]

Greetings,
 
I do not have a roofing filter in slot #5, slots 1 through 4 are filled.  I manually set up filters via the K3, leaving the BW on slot #5 as 0 (zero) and the K3 didn't balk.  Later I downloaded the latest firmware w/o any problems (apparently), and while in the K3 Utility I attempted to reset the crystal filters.  Leaving the slot #5 BW as zero, I get an error msg stating: "Empty filter slot 5 (zero bandwidth) filter cannot be enabled for any mode" when Accept/OK is selected.  I have a 0.40 KHz in slot #4, so I just put that BW also in for slot #5 and it accepted the config. 
 
I don't find anything so far that indicates how to handle no filter in slot #5 while using the K3 Utility.  Is it OK to lie to my K3?  :-(   Words of wisdom appreciated.  Thanks.  73
 
Walter, N0DZJ
