[Elecraft] KX3 filter question

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

So, I just (today) bought a used KX3. I've owned gobs of Icoms and Yaesu's,
so the Elecraft controls are pretty foreign to me.

 

I do own a K3 but have quite literally used it 3 times in the 6 or whatever
years I've owned it. It's packed away.

 

I've looked in the 2 books I've rec'd but it doesn't spell it out "exactly"
and maybe I am just being daft. I';m off work today, under the weather, so
not firing on all cylinders.(hi)

 

I am wondering about the various filter widths and how to adjust.  It almost
seems like it goes to FIL 1, 2  3 automatically as I adjust the PB tuning,.

 

IS THIS THE WAY FILTERS WORK?

 

In my Icoms (hope that's not a dirty word here), I have to purposely select
individual filters with a button press or two or three as it cycles through
them.

 

It's been so long since I used my K3 (3-4 yrs?) that I don't even recall how
it's done, but my sense was that it was different on the K3.

 

Thanks for answering this obviously very basic question.  I don't have a
good way to set up and operate in the tiny shack, but I may try to put it on
a wire in the livingroom later this month and familiarize myself with some
settings on these Elecrafts. Posted below was the sale ad I bought it from.
