This is an internal gain calibration step that requires power to be set at exactly 5.0 and 50 W respectively. There's no need for an accurate wattmeter at this point. The K3's watt metering can optionally be calibrated in a later step (CONFIG:WMTR). We'll clarify this in the manuals. 73, Wayn

One of the variable-passband filters we've been considering is one for SSB, with a range of about 1.4 to 2.2 kHz. It would have 5 poles rather than 8, but I'm sure it would work well in combination with the I.F. DSP. The MCU would automatically dial in the crystal filter bandwidth to match the
