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

[Dick Dievendorff]

Walter, I suspect you may have filter 5 "enabled" for one or more modes.  If
you don't have a filter in position 5, you shouldn't check any of the
checkboxes in the column headed by Filter 5.

 

I may have a bug, but that's what the error message is intended to convey.

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
