Re: K3 Loses RX Audio at BW of 2.8 kHz

I have been noticing a similar anomaly since 3.76.

The only difference is it happens when I go to 2.9.

As I increase the width I see the filter switch at 2.8 (I have the 2.7 SSB filter and 6.0 AM filter) and then at 2.9 it goes dead until I advance it to 3.0 and from then on it continues as it should.  

Also when it goes from dead to audio at 3.0 I get a nasty click.  

Scott, maybe it's a Prather deal.
