K3 - Added FM filter and have new error

[nz6d]

I got the FM filter and installed it. I had to move the 3 filters I had in the K3 down one slot for each filter. I set up each filter in the new slot in the config menu but now I get an "ERR BP2" error. Can any one point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Hi Dave,

The K3 Owner's Manual (rev A30), p57 shows ERR BP2 as being related to
the KBPF3.  Specifically, that error would mean the KBPF3 is not
physically installed (or not working if it is installed), but the
CONFIG menu's KBPF3 shows it installed.  The error occurs when the MCU
can't communicate with the KBPF3.

You might want to make sure the KBPF3 entry in the CONFIG menu shows
'not inst' rather than 'nor', if you don't have the KBPF3 plugged in.
If you do, then there may be a problem with the KBPF3.

I have noticed  that the error only comes up when I power on the radio. After I hit the "menu" key all is normal.

Is it possible that the P.O.S.T. is not seeing the filter and that's why the CPU is reporting error?
