One question: On my K3S I cannot set the LO CUT to .35KHz it only steps in .10 increments not 0.05 increments is there some CONFIG item I need to change? I looked through the CONFIG menus and Fred Cady’s book however I did not see anything about setting that step.

Higher makes for easier copy, but lower will eliminate more noise, and help with nearby stations. Remember, the crystal filters are to protect the AtoD converter in the receiver. The DSP has many useful settings between those of the installed filters.
