K3 Filter Selection

Mike Sanders
Greetings, Just got my new K3 options in Monday and
had them all installed by Tuesday morning. I installed
3 of the 4 possible optional roofing filters. They have
been turned on and the BW set in config. My problem
is when I power down the radio they cannot be called
up by tapping the XFIL button. I have to go into the
config and call them up to verify they are there and then
out of config. Once done I can call them up with a
XFIL tap. Any hints or ideas of what I am missing?
TIA es 73, Mike

Well, Never mind. Thanks anyway. I did NOT have
them turned on in all modes. It seems since I did that
they work just fine after a power down.
More questions to follow I am sure.  73

I never use the XFIL buttons. I dial the bandwidth I want by twisting the
"width" knob just to the left of VFO A.  Or I tap the "LOW" knob to
normalize the settings for CW or phone.

Of course you mean *hold* the LOW knob ...

It would be handy if *hold* would normalize at 2.8 KHz bw in DATA A
and 400 Hz in AFSK A/FSK D for data modes.  Normalizing to 400 Hz in
DATA A is a problem.
