Maybe.  The K3 offers so many ways to configure things, not all 
combinations are guaranteed to be optimal.  You might also try not using 
the dual PB DSP, my experience has been that MMTTY and 2TONE decode a 
bit better without it.  I have the "stock" 2.7 KHz filter, and a 5-pole 
500 Hz.  I normally run RTTY contests with 300 Hz DSP, and 915 Hz MARK 
AFSK-A.  I find that decode accuracy starts to degrade below 300 Hz DSP BW.
