6 khz cw question?

[N4LQ-2]

I have the 6 khz filter in slot #1 but in cw mode it skips to slot #2
restricting my receive BW to 2.7 khz. Is this the way it's supposed to work?
If so, why? I want to hear more BW in CW mode and don't want to be switching
to LSB just to listen.
Also, is there any reason why I should not choose the 6 khz filter for
transmitting CW from the menu, FLTX CW?

Do you have FL1 (6 kHz) selected for CW mode in the filter parameter in
CONFIG?  When the FL1 parameter is selected in CONGIG and you are in CW
mode, it should indicate 'YES' rather than 'NO'.

For TX, use only the 2.7 or 2.8 kHz filter for CW, SSB and DATA modes.
Selecting any other TX BW will generate a TXF error on transmit.  Wayne may
broaden the choices for TX filter bandwidths in the future, and if anything
the CW TX bandwidth choices will be lower, not greater.

An easy way to set up your filters correctly & quickly is to go into the K-3
Utility, go to configuration, click edit crystal filters, once there make
your edits and click ok and it will make the changes right away to your rig.
