[Elecraft] K3 Filter problem Part II

[Richard Ferch]

Aha, looking at it more closely, I now see that it it only happens when 
PB CTRL is set to SHIFT=.01, in either CW or DATA mode.

Oops! I just re-read the firmware release notes for MCU version 3.25, 
which say that CONFIG:PB CTRL is not compatible with CONFIG:SIG RMV. No 
doubt that's the problem here.

My apologies, then - it does not happen in the default configuration, 
but with the current version of the firmware it happens when you have 
CONFIG:PB CTRL set to SHIFT=.01 .

So I'd suggest to Tom that he check to make sure CONFIG:PB CTRL is set 
to SHIFT=.05 before using CONFIG:SIG RMV. However, given his description 
of a "reverse-direction" birdie, SIG RMV is definitely worth trying on 
that birdie.
