I noticed recently that on power up my K3 makes a noise for a fraction of a second. It sounds like background atmospheric noise as it would sound with the SSB filter active, even though the radio was last powered off with a CW filter set. I don't remember exactly when this behavior began, but it seems that it was in the last few beta firmware releases. In every other respect my K3 behaves normally.
Obviously, this is no big deal. However, I did try reloading the latest beta version, as suggested on this reflector. I always use "Send All Firmware to K3", which reloads the data tables. It didn't help. Could it be that recent firmware versions impose a slight delay before the filter selection stored on power down is implemented on power up?

Advanced Mode has too many choices!

In the K3 Utility under View, check Advanced Mode. This will display a check box labeled *Always load DSP data tables*. Also, be sure to check all the appropriate boxes for loading the Firmware modules. This is the solution Gary provided back in March. Hopefully, it will work for your problem now. Chuck, AE4CW Chuck- I have the same problem. It started with V2.57. How do I reload "data tables" ? Thanks Shep - W2BSB I had this problem long ago; a reload of the firmware AND the data tables cured it. The trick was the data tables. Thanks to Gary at Elecraft.
