Rudolf:

Are you clicking on [APPLY] before you exit the K3 Utility program?
APPLY sends the info to the K3... without it, you have only changed
the settings in the Utility and nowhere else.

I notice something similar, I think. If this is a FAQ, I don't recall.

On power up, NR is always off even though I had turned the K3 off with NR
on.

Between shutdowns, it persists NB, but not NR. I don't understand why.
Same with Notch settings. Those settings seem to not persist between
shutdowns. It just seems to work the way it works. It may be the way
Eric and Wayne like it. I don't know.

If it's already documented somewhere which settings are persisted between
shutdowns and which are not, then I withdraw the observation.

If it's not documented in the manual which settings are persisted between
shutdowns and which are not, then it may be helpful to explain that. And
as a bonus perhaps explain the rationale for that design.

Re: FLx ON cmd

Jeff,

When reading Crystal Config from K3 utility, i've remarked
that the configuration between USB an LSB was exactly
reversed. In my case, it's like the "ALT" button were ignored.
As i use mostly USB for digital modes, (i prefer this mode
as DATA A), i set manually many times my 5 filters ON.
For LSB, only 2k8, 2k7 and 1k8 are selected.
With selection of the remaining 0k4 and 0k25 always in
LSB mode and writing the new configuration to the K3,
USB is now ok with 5 filters, also after a manually power down.

I've no explanation for this behavior, it's as if "ALT" button status
were ignored? (always in my case!)

The good point is that i've now the correct filters configuration for USB!
