Mike's program is an excellent addition to the K3 toolkit... but as Joe 
points out, be aware that it takes control of the K3 in ways we might 
not expect.

If the K3 is configured for PTT or CW keying using the CTS and/or DTR 
lines, the Filter Tools program may cause the rig to transmit. (No harm 
done, as the signal generator was connected to the RX ANT port, but 
definitely an unexpected event.)

Before using *any* new program that takes control of the rig, it is also 
a good idea to use Elecraft's K3 Utilities program to grab a config 
file, and then reload the original rig configuration afterwards.
