k3 filter setup /question

[km5ps]

I have a k3 with the standard 2.7 filter and a 400hz cw filter
installed.  The 2.7 is in slot FL3 and 400hz is in slot FL4.  My
question is when you are adjusting the width of the filter should the
filter 3 number change when FL4 filter engages?  When I adjust my width
down from 2.80 down to0.05 it always shows FL3 on the display.  I have
watched some Youtube videos and notice that the FL# changes.  That may
be because they have more than 1 cw filter.  I know that you must
transmit through the 2.7 filter and that is the way that I have it setup
in the K3 utility program.  Everything may be working like it is suppose
to but was just curious about why my radio does not show FL4 engaged
when adjusting the width control.  Also when I manually hit the FL4 I do
not hear any signals.  It seems to wipe them out.
Thank-you
John KM5PS

Yes it sounds as you have not enabled the filter in FL4.  The easiest way to check is to use the K3 Utility's Filter Configuration screen.

Thanks Bill but, but I have checked that already and even made sure in
the config menu that FL4 is ON.  FL4 shows to be on in both locations.  
Any other suggestions?

thanks agian

John,

Are your filters installed in descending bandwidth with the widest
towards FL1 and the narrowest toward FL5.  The manual says this is a
requirement.

Speaking from personal experience... try counting FL1-2-3-4 from the
correct end of the row.

Is the filter enabled for all the modes you wish it to be used?
