Why did you put that 250hz filter in slot 5 then select filter 2?

Subject: [Elecraft] 250 HZ XFIL QUESTION
The below applies to cw mode only at this time.
I have a basic K3 2.7hz 100 watt unit. Tonite I added an 8 pole 250 hz
filter. After
installation and software setup it appears that the filter does not work
when I select
filter 2. The radio was purchased assembled and the 2.7 hz filter is in
slot one and
i placed the 250hz filter in slot 5.
However - if I select Dual Passband - the filter appears to work. The
display shows both
filter skirts and the bandwidth of the received signal is obviously isolated
by the narrow setting.
My questions are these: Do I have to use dual passband to use the 2nd
filter? Does dual passband use some combination of main filter (2.7) and
250hz DSP filtering instead of passing the signal thru the first crystal
filter and then the 250 hz crystal filter? If I have the
K3 software setup correctly - if I select the 2nd filter - does this bypass
the 2.7 hz filter and use the 2nd filter; and if so, why would it appear
that my 250 hz filter is not passing a signal in this mode while it appears
that it's passing it in Dual Passband mode.
I'm aware that i've probably phrased my questions incomprehensibly, but I'm
just wondering
if i'm getting any use out of my 2nd 250hz crystal, or if it's not working
because of some software setup error i've made or whether it's defective.
Thanks - Mark (N5EAT)
