[Elecraft] ERR TXF

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hello Guy,

Is a factory assembled new K3, so as you said it must have the 2.7 filter
also, plus the 4 filters I bought it have 5 filters.

Will see for all the help I received here to fix it.

Thanks to everybody...

73,
Jorge

Hello Jorge,

Both kit and factory K3's always come with a 2.7 5 pole filter by
default that is part of the price.  You can REPLACE the 2.7 five pole
with a 2.8 for an upgrade fee, but not DELETE it.

So if you ordered the K3 from Elecraft, when you order kits K3 and
KRX3 and two 400 8 pole and two 1.8 8 pole, you will have FIVE (not
four) filters when you finally install everything...   one 2.7, two
1.8 and two 400. The 2.7 must go in a mainboard slot for transmitting.

If you bought your K3 used, did it come without at least one 2.8 or
2.7 kHz filter? No K3 will work without one of those.  There's no
firmware setting to support the different offsets needed to support
1.8 as a transmitting filter.  It has been discussed on the reflector,
but I don't know if Wayne ever agreed to put it on the list.

73, Guy
