K3 missing 6kHz filter - all ok?

[Frank Krozel]

So I purchased a used K3, it arrives in a few hours.
Trying to get smart before I unbox, I recall the past user removing the 6kHz filter and leaving in the 2.7, 500 and 250kHz filters in place.
Somewhere tonight I recall reading that all the filters need to be in descending order.  The fact that the 6kHz filter is no longer in there is leaving a “space” for it in the receivers (it has two receivers in it) is that still ok?

Yes...I operated a K3s for several months with the 1st filter position open.  The K3 will need to be instructed that the position is open.  The free K3 utility software will help you do that.  When you set up the radio the first time, follow the manual for setup/calibration and you will find those instructions on how to do that. You will also want to check to be sure the radio is on the latest firmware which that software can also do for you.


The you can save the current config for safe keeping.
