the K3 power after doing a firmware upgrade. I understand the logic behind this
action and do perform a power reset after doing a firmware upgrade or reload.

They are complete resets, occurring after MCU, DSP1, DSP2 loads. Note
that the K3 goes through exactly the same LED test sequence and timing

I'm not seeing the problem. With the K3 set up for PSK D data mode and

We very specifically singled out FSK-D for this request. No other

If one introduced say 6 db in the segment covering 2KHz and up to the

The gain increase is constant in the segment.

I bought the 1.5 kHz filters instead of the 1.8 kHz filters, and I don't

course, is to adjust the Shift down to somewhere between 950 Hz and 1050
