Hi Ken, For narrow DSP filter bandwidths (100 Hz or less I think) you have the option of using a FIR filter (default) or an IIR filter. IIR filters can "ring" which sounds like it might be what you are experiencing. That may be your problem - that you are using an IIR filter. You can toggle between the FIR and IIR filters by a CONFIG command; CONFIG->FLx BW (then tap 7). (See page 55 of the K3 manual under FLx BW.) Hope that helps.
