[Elecraft] K3 and FM mode.

[Stan Grigaliunas]

Don,

You are right, again.  I popped the top and the 13k FM filter is in the F1 
spot.

I tried the K3-EZ and each time I ask to populate it come out with different 
readings and once in a while the F1 block was filled with 13k.

Per jack Berry's suggestion, I used the K3 utility and all filters appeared 
in the configuration window.

So I am sure all is well and will do a live test.  I have a Flex here too, 
so will set up the actual test, just to be sure...

Like to thank all the good folks for help offered on this reflector.

Stan,

It is a matter of 6 or 7 screws to remove the top cover and examine the
installed filters.
You need to tell K3-EZ which filters you have installed because K3-EZ
has no mechanism to determine the filter width, that is information that
you must provide.

>From your filter designations it appears that your FL1 is unpopulated
in your configuration and that FL2 and FL3 are populated.  Open the top
cover and check the actual filters installed  This may be a case where
your filters were not set up properly, or in the worst case, if you
ordered the 13 MHz FM filter and it is not installed, you have a "beef"
with Elecraft, and that situation should be promptly resolved.
